[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 743331, member: 10291"] It shouldn't be too hard to test the angle using the top of a tall tree from 100-200 yards. A 45 degree angle line of sight range should be around a 30% distance correction. 100 yards to the top of the tree would correct to 70 yards. A 30 degree angle should be about a 10% distance correction. The ballistic program will give the exact numbers. I initially tested using this approach, then did longer range testing when I was able to get to an appropriate area and it checked out the same. [/QUOTE]
