[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 495534, member: 7848"] The angle of your trajectory will be very close to parallel with the line of sight, even for long range. Consider a typical 1000 yard trajectory where you have ~30 MOA of elevation on the scope. 30 MOA is 1/2 of one degree, and that's about the angle the trajectory is making to the LOS at the muzzle. At the 1000 yard mark, the bullet is falling at a little steeper angle, probably 3/4 of one degree or maybe even 1 degree. Considering the chaos that happens when the bullet hits an animal, this small angle can be considered parallel to the LOS with no practical error. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
