[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2337276, member: 108912"] Actually, I think it IS perfect. That's exactly the right rule of thumb. Gravity only acts on the bullet or the arrow over the HORIZONTAL component of it's flight path. The 90 degree pure vertical case illustrates this clearly. There is no horizontal component to the slant range from shooter to the target, so there is no "drop", regardless of the slant range. The projectile flies in a perfectly straight line from release to impact with the earth. Cheers, Rex [/QUOTE]
