[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1632813, member: 60453"] Actually, I have done that using the Shepherd reticle. I regularly hunt at altitudes of 8000 to 11000 feet, in mountain country with all my weapons, and I use both the ranging points and the minute-of-angle ranging marks on the sidebar of the reticle. I've shot and hit at angles of 30 degrees up and down hill at distances of 600 or more on several occasions. I even practice shots like this when I have the chance. For instance, a 580 yard shot with my 30-06 at about 30 degrees means I hold for about 530 yards, which is between 1/4 and 1/3 of the distance between the 500 yard center circle and the 600 yard center circle. The bullet impacts within 2 inches of my point of aim, well within disbursal for a three shot group at that range. Since I'm not looking at an animal and rocks are of various sizes, I use a rangefinder to determine range to the rock. [/QUOTE]
