[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 697857, member: 7848"] Shooter accounts for the difference in air density along an inclined shot. I don't know for sure if Bullet flight does this, but based on your comparison of the results, I would guess it doesn't. here's why: On the look-up shot, the Shooter solution calls for less elevation than Bullet Flight. This is consistent with the bullet flying thru thinner air as it goes up in altitude. The opposite is true of the look down shot. Having said that, I also don't know the exact details of the rest of BulletFlight's calculations, so the comparison could be explained by something else. What I can say for sure is that Shooter calculates the variation in air density along the trajectory based on conditions at your altitude, so you don't have to average (mentally or otherwise) the altitude/pressure along the trajectory. Very interested in hearing about your results. Good shooting, -Bryan [/QUOTE]
