[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 496141, member: 10379"] If you want the trig version: It's the [B]inverse tangent[/B] of ([B]the change in height[/B] divided by [B]the change in distance[/B]) You can get both the [B]change in height[/B] and [B]change in distance[/B] list for small increments at a give distance from a ballistics calculator. I used jbmballistics.com using a 5 yard increment to get the initial [B]"change in height"[/B] and [B]"change in distance"[/B] then copy/pasted it into excel and entered the formula =DEGREES((ATAN((B2-B1)/((A2-A1)*36))))) in the top cell to the right of the distance column then "filled down". The trajectory below is for a 208gr amax going 2400 fps and 5000 ft elevation. B2-B1 gives the [B]change in height[/B] A2-A1 gives the [B]change in distance[/B] - the *36 converts the yards to inches DEGREES converts the answer from radians to degrees Looking at the long list below... at 1000 yards it's 1.5 degrees, at 2000 it's 5.96 degrees, and 3000 it's 13.6 degrees If you really want to know, you should do this for your bullets' trajectory. distance|drop|angle 0 -2.4
