[QUOTE="Adikted, post: 1375013, member: 91925"] There's a big difference between shooting a canted rifle on a known distance range and a hunting situation where the shot can be at any range. The bullet begins falling from the bore line as soon as it leaves the muzzle. In order to compensate for that your bore line and sight line aren't parallel. Think of the bore line being uphill and the sight line being level. If your bore isnt directly below the center of your sight line the bore its pointing to the left or right compared to the sight line Your bullet will only be able to cross your sight line at a single point. David Tubb does not care about this because he only needs it to cross at the target which is a known distance. If your bore line is directly below your sight line your bullet is able to cross your sight line at any point in its trajectory. [/QUOTE]
