[QUOTE="paphil, post: 572230, member: 17745"] A lot of the variables cancel each other out. The wind was a tail wind blowing down in the first part of the trajectory which could account for a couple of the minutes but I would be more inclined to blame ranging errors although on steeper terrain they are usually less of a problem than flat areas. The colder temp would cause a couple of clicks low as would the 1000 feet lower altitude( 1/2 click) but the inclined angle would cause the shot to be high ( 21 degrees = 6 yards/100 or take off enough clicks for -50 yards). If you ever get back to that spot again, try to range it again. [/QUOTE]
