[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 3017161, member: 104268"] A 30° downward angle would give you a 304 yard "shoot to" distance ( cosine(30) x 351 yds = 304 yds). That doesn't take into account the 351 yard flight time, but at that distance, it's probably not a big difference. Using standard atmosphere at sea level, and 2950 fps MV, that equates to about 3.5" high if you dialed for 351 yards without compensating for the angle. Edited to add...[URL='https://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi']Here's the JBM online calculator[/URL], and you can play around with your real world variables to see the effects.
