[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 389644, member: 14"] Having done quite a lot of hunting at ranges in excess of 1000 yards in very steep mountains in our Southern Alps hunting Himalayan Tahr, it would be practically impossible to get a 2700 yard 45 degree shot. The steepest angle I've ever managed to find beyond 1000 yards is 30 degrees, and that was one hell of an angle. The further the range, the flatter the angle ends up, that is a fact. To get 45 degrees nearly 3 times further, ain't no topography in any battle field in the world that would get you that angle!:) Greg [URL="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h222/GregDuley/South%20Island%2007/IMG_6553.jpg"][IMG]http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h222/GregDuley/IMG_6553.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 30 degree angle, 1001 yards [IMG]http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h222/GregDuley/IMG_6589.jpg[/IMG] and the result, a female Himalayan Tahr.
