[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 243035, member: 11717"] There is a very good thread on this subject in the Technical Articles Forum. Shooting at angles. Basically, the shooting dynamics of shooting up or downhill are the same, in that you are componsating for the horizontal distance traveled and not straight line distance. Another thing to consider is the path the bullet will take through the body of the animal. If it's a significant angle upwards, you want the bullet to enter low, in order to pass through the vitals and you want the bullet to enter high when shooting down hill. Read the other thread. Some very good articles and links in it. [/QUOTE]
