[QUOTE="RioHondoHank, post: 546391, member: 27344"] Actually the most accurate result is to enter the angle in your program since the difference between your line of sight and bore of the barrel also comes into play. This becomes a very complex calculation that would not be easily handled in the field. If you don't have a portable ballistics calculated such as the IPhone and Ballistic FTE you would have to have a whole stack of charts for all the angles. The following gives some idea how complex it would be. After looking at the formulas I am glad I have an iPhone. :) [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_rule"]Rifleman's rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] [/QUOTE]
