[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 45763, member: 3"] Antslayer is correct in that there are several methods of "doing" inclined fire. Here's an article that's pretty good and explains some models very well. [url="http://www.exteriorballistics.com/ebexplained/article1.html"]http://www.exteriorballistics.com/ebexplained/article1.html[/url] What it pretty much boils down to is how large is your target area (kill zone), what is the distance (shorter is more forgiving) and what is the angle (less is more forgiving). If you're talking rather short distances and a large target area (many inches) and moderate angles (NOT 90 degrees for sure) you be fine with the old(er) but tried and true COS(Angle) * base/gravity distance version (the ACI type model). If you're talking precision fire onto a small target at longggg range the more accurate methods could be better. IMHO for hunting purposes using the ACI or MilDot Master device and their COS(angle)* base distance is good enough and to use the the other "more correct/accurate" models amounts to just buffing a turd, the critter will be dead in all cases.
