[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1981743, member: 19988"] If taking a 1,000 yard shot with a 25 degree angle regardless of shooting uphill or down hill the calculations will be the same. You must first refer to the chart and convert your degrees angle to cosine. 25 degrees is .906 cosine. So multiple your LOS ( 1000 yards ) by your cosine .906. Now this is where training kicks in. The number 6 in the cosine is higher than 5. So round your cosine up to .91 the equation will look like so. 1000 x .91 = 910 yards. This will be your shoot to range. [/QUOTE]
