1. Angle Shooting

3. Gravity’s effect on the bullet is only equal to the FLAT GROUND DISTANCE When engaging targets from angles, the impact of the round will be high if you use the STRAIGHT LINE DISTANCE zero on your rifle SHOOTER TARGET FLAT GROUND DISTANCE STRAIGHT LINE DISTANCE

4. Range Estimation – Straight Line Distance – Flat Ground Distance Target Angle (up or down) FACTORS THAT DETERMINE DISTANCE FOR ANGLE SHOOTING

5. It is important to understand that as the angle to the target increases the effect of gravity decreases.
