[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 867018, member: 11717"] If your rifle is zero'd @ 300 yds, this shot would be easy. Just put the crosshairs on the animal. Practice on some rocks sometime on a steep hill. The farther the range, the more complex the solution. For shorter to mid range solutions, firguring the just corrected horizontal distance (like range finders do) is adequate. However, as you get more extreme ranges you must figure in the scope height above bore. Ballistic calculators do this. Last, if you were purely estimating your slope, you were likely estimating it on the high side. That is the natural tendency. When looking down a 30* slope will look like 45* and a 45* slope will look like 60*. [/QUOTE]
