    Shooting up hill/ Shooting down hill?

    Oh i forgot my range finder is the TBR model to 1000yds.. So i don't need to calculate any hold over corrections thru 500 yds. I'll have to go out into the desert and shoot up and down hill some long shots to verify all this gear.

    Shooting up hill/ Shooting down hill?

    Thank you Buffalo Bob,,, i needed to smile.. I bought new Lapua brass, and i will most likely be shooting the Berger VLDs. I have been using the Berger ballistic calculator..

But there are also people who only shoot at game up to 500 yards. This is point blank range. Using a simple duplex reticle. No range adjustment knobs. I zero my...

    Shooting up hill/ Shooting down hill?

    Yes i agree, at normal hunting distances a general horiziontal distance is adequate. Simple and quick.. Which i think is what the question was for. For long range shooting...it's best to pull out your range finder and calculator (lap top). Wind gages , a barometer, and chronograph are nice...

    Shooting up hill/ Shooting down hill?

    Hey, guys you're making it too difficult shooting up and down hill. The only distance that really matters is the horizontal distance to the target. The velocity gained from shooting down hill or velocity lost shooting up hill doesn't make any difference to your hold over point. Longer distance...
