[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1981147, member: 19988"] I’ll use you known range and angle. 500 yards ( LOS ) Angle 2 degrees Look at the chart where it says 5 degree then to the right under the cosine column it will say .996 Multiple your known LOS 500 yards by your cosine of .996 500 x .996 = 498 yards. Ok we know that there is 36” in a yard. So knowing that we also know that there is 72” in 2 yards. So a 5 degree angle will change your POI ( Point of impact 72”. So a 2.5 degree angle at 500 yards will change your POI by 36” You see where this is going. Just 1 degree can change your POI drastically the further you shoot. That’s what i was meaning earlier when I said people don’t realize the math their ballistics range finder solver is doing. [/QUOTE]
