[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 110128, member: 1622"] Jhogema, Yes, but (as I did) you have failed to notice that in JBM's 90 deg cant example he stated 'for simplicity elevation = zero'. Under those conditions (albeit theoretical -when would you ever have a rifle sight set such that it gave no elevation to the barrel?) the miss will be x= 0 y = -300 regardless of the rifle's cant. Only if the rifle has had it's 'up 300' elevation applied will it have the x = +300 y = -300 with a 90deg cant. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
