The range is 621 yards from shooter to target. the shooter is at 3260'and the target is at 3576' for a change of 316'. what is the angle and the adjusted yards that he is shooting? please show your work

 

[lightflight]

im gettting a 9.765 degree angle. so if i round to 10 degrees... it would be 611.6 yards?

 

[jkrueger]

shoot to 612, i did the math, with no rounding you get 612.0013 yards

a2 + b2 = c2

105.33^2 + b^2 = 621 ^2
11,094.41 + b^2 = 385,641.00
b^2 = 374,546.59
b = 612.00

612.00 yards


Angle is 9.77 degrees.

Please forgive my ignorance, but do any of you actually hand jam your math in field conditions or use a ballistics calculator? We don't have enough change in elevation here to worry about this calculation. However, I thank the author for posting the question.

My question was more for a target shot. My longest kill is 30 yards.

Then I ask, do you regularly hand jam calculations for target shots? I recognize one may not always have much time during hunting conditions because an animal may be on the move and it would be more efficient to punch into calculator. I also like the capability to hand jam if I were to loose said calculator or my batteries die. Anyhow, thanks again. I always like learning something new that will make me a better shooter.
