[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 17428, member: 34"] Hello again We are saying the same thing only adding a twist to it. When I range an animal for "actual" yardage--- A 600 yard shot at a 30 degree angle is 600 yards. When I range an animal at 600 yards on the level its 600 yards. If you range "any" animal at a certain distance, that's how far away he is from the rifle regardless if he's on an incline or on the level ground. It doesn't matter if he's at 35 degrees up or down or on the level. If the rangefinder says it is 1000 yards at 35 degreeas and he moves down to the level ground you are on and the rangefinder is used again on him and it still says 1000 yards, that's his distance from you. We don't have to triangulate his position and say that if he was on the level at this distance, then that would mean that his position would be something else or a different yardage at 30 degrees. You really don't have to figure another step such as Time of Flight because a distance may be different "IF" that animal was at another position to start with. The only thing I want to know when I shoot at an animal that is at 20 or 30 degrees up or down from my shooting spot is-----what is the MOA difference between the zero level shot and the angle shot at the "SAME" distance in yards or meters. Maybe that's a bit clearer? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Anyway, good shooting to you and hope you don't stuff yourself to bad that you get sick.
