Thread: Angle Compensation

My rangefinder outputs angle so I just input that into applied ballistics along with distance. Its interesting till you start working with angle how much it can affect your point of impact when wanting a clean kill shot in a hunting situ

A recent experience, an uphill shot of 707m called for 4.5 mil but with 10 degree angle factored in became 4.3 mil and a height difference of about 150mm which would in some cases be enough to skim over the back of a fallow or goat.

I wouldnt bother dialling a 223 for 300m shots as gillie says a zero at 200 still doesnt drop significantly in my opinion not to want to hold over a little at 300 considering ow much a 223 drops over 200m , like an inch an average shooter might flinch or pull the shot that much!
