[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 22850, member: 3"] Yes AND No, the numbers will change for the elevation "clicks" but remain the same for the windage "clicks" The elevation "clicks" will change (basically this is correct but not exact) by a factor equal to the cosine of the angle. The cosine of 35% is .819 so the number of clicks should equal that required for a 819 yard shot, not a 1000 yard shot (this is the method most often used and is accurate enough). Remember that the projectile is still traveling 1000 yards through the air so the windage will still be that required for a 1000 yards shot. [/QUOTE]
