[QUOTE="Kevin, post: 285689, member: 603"] Here is what you need to do to find the horizontal distance by the method you suggest. ((straight line range)^2-(elevation difference)^2)^.5 most cell phone calculators are capable of this. Make sure you use the same units. For example 1000 yards line of sight 600ft vertical equals 200yards vertical. ((1000)^2-(200)^2)^.5 = 980 yards if you want to know the angle that is then take arctan(200/1000) = 11.3 degrees [/QUOTE]
