[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2343372, member: 3230"] I just got back from a hunt so I am only now seeing this thread again. I might be arguing too hard in your opinion, but the example I laid out is absolutely true: if you hold for the horizontal distance on a long shot and a steep angle, and you will miss - this is the reason for the improved rifleman's rule in the first place (and I think you are the only one who even brought it up). Simply saying you need to aim low isn't good enough. The point I am making, obviously not understood by the majority of the readers of this thread, is that the drop of a bullet is not purely a function of the true horizontal distance. To your point, and the one I was making from the beginning, is to use something that takes this into consideration. I prefer a rangefinder that does it one step. [/QUOTE]
