[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2336875, member: 97050"] If you want a “formula” then it’s the cosine of the slope angle multiplied by the true range, and dial for that. This doesn’t take into account elevation loss or gain. There are better ways to calculate it. Like: DROP*[1 - COS(A)] to get your overshot distance (d). Some Rigid Trajectory Theory is applied next by dividing your overshoot distance: d*1000 by the slant range R….(d/R) you get you output in mils. Hunters need not know, but I’ll post for the sake of accuracy. [/QUOTE]
