[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 243046, member: 8"] To summarize the article, here is what it says. 1. Get the range with your range finder 2. Get the drops for that range 3. Get the angle and the cosine of the angle 4. Multiply the cosine times the DROP (NOT THE RANGE). 5. Dial in the reduced drop. The cosine times the range is not the same as the cosine times the drop. We have had agreement on this method for over a year now and there is no reason for anybody to be doing it wrong anymore. The question of uphill versus downhill is just a very small difference and is only of interest to those of us who are too lazy to find something more worth while to do. Some ballistic programs will calculate a difference at very long ranges [/QUOTE]
