Dude, I think that's a different forum...I've heard of fisting before but not related to incline

You can buy a cosine indicator.
buy a inclinometer.
use the back of a mildot master.
use a kestrel.
use your iphones level to get the angle.
If using a angle and not the cosine, take the angle and on a calculator so say 20 degrees and hit cosine and multiply that by your true range, you'll get your horizontal distance. Or for faster reference google slope dope.
good catch. I don't know why that popped in my head.A Kestrel will not give you your incline, but it will give you your correction if you use one of the other items you listed to measure the incline and input it into the Kestrel.
It would sure be cool if it did. I was just fooling with my 5700 ELITE last night and was thinking that very thought. You would think it wouldn't be that hard for them to do, they already have a compass in it..

The boys over at Gunwerks, during one of their videos, showed how to get an appropriate angle of inclination by merely using your hand. I failed to record the show, and have not been able to find it. Technology is great, when it works.....when technology fails, it's nice to have a back-up method! memtb

Palm flat thumb up, about 10 degrees for each flip of the hand.
Old school and easy to remember is just think in terms of a clock.
Level shot your arm is extended straight ahead as you point at the target. That's a 0 shot angle at about 3 o'clock.
12 o'clock is ninety degrees straight up, 2 oclok or four o'clock 30 deg up/down 2 or 5'oclock sixty degrees up/down.
That'll get you close if you run out of batteries or don't' have a range finder.

I got an answer from AB. They said the kestrel doesn't have the sensor for so it, so kestrel would need to put a separate sensor in.Yah, it would be nice for the price they charge but at the end of the day its built into my range finder so not that big of deal , it would just be a back up.
