Thread: Bipod, uphill shooting issue.

Gravity affects the bullet. (We all know this!)
And gravity tries to pull the bullet straight down vertically.

So while you’re shooting at an animal 300 metres up a steep hill the gravity doesn’t pull the bullet in towards the hill but rather it pulls it straight down (as it does a plumb-bob)

So your bullet is only affected by gravity for the distance of the base of the triangle as per the pic supplied by ChrisW.

Of course I may be completely and utterly wrong!!!
