RANGE CORRECTION INDUCED BY ANGLE...

Taking a shot at angles greater than 15 degrees (up or down) will require correction due to the cosine of the angle in relation to the horizontal distance that gravity will actually affect on the bullet trajectory.

RANGE GUIDE provides quick solutions for angle shots in graph and table formats...

EXAMPLE:  1000 YRD RANGE TO TARGET AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE...

  • (COS) 45 = .707
  • .707 X 1000 = 707 YRDS
  • 707 YRDS IS THE DISTANCE USED TO CALCULATE BULLET DROP
  • RANGE TO TARGET IS STILL 1000 YARDS
