[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1615926, member: 104268"] My Bushnell has an option to show the "shoot to" distance AND the true distance at the same time. What brand/model do you have? Most angle compensating units will display at least two pieces of information (e.g. True distance + angle, or "shoot to" + angle). If that's the case, you could use a simplified pythagorean theorem chart, or perhaps a simple calculator on a smart phone to get the true distance. I'm a geologist, and I actually use this technique to measure the height of terrain in the field using a spreadsheet app. Only takes a few seconds to input the two values and get a measurement for any leg of the triangle, depending on how you solve the pythagorean theorem.
