[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 810428, member: 55580"] That still does not make sense though...as I mentioned I have more experience as a golfer than a shooter, so let me use golf as an example. Say you take your flatest trajectory club (a driver) and hit it on a 5 degree upslope and a 5 degree downslope. The downslope shot is obviously going to go farther because the ball will stay in the air longer. Now I know there is more arc in any golf shot than a bullet trajectory, but the same general idea has to apply. The same thing applies for a range finder that measures slope...uphill has to play longer and downhill plays shorter. Gravity obviously has it's influence. I don't see how it could work opposite of slope measuring range finders and a golf ball for that matter. I could be wrong, but it just does not make sense to me...? [/QUOTE]
