ANGLE FIRING

Gravity range / Horizontal distance = the distance gravity affects the bullet Target Shooter

UPHILL SHOOTING
Firing angle

SAMPLE SHOOTING SITUATION

Shooter

Gravity range

25 o

Target Firing angle

Shooter Target Gravity range

Gravity range

DOWNHILL SHOOTING

Same rules apply for both downhill and uphill shooting

COMPENSATION FOR ANGLE 300 yds * .91 = 273 yds

Direct range / Slope distance Multiplier for 35 degree angle Gravity range / Horizontal distance

To obtain gravity range multiply the direct range by the appropriate multiplier.

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM X2 + Y2 = R2
The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to calculate distances.

X2 + Y2 = R2 X2 = R2 - Y2 Y2 = R2 - X2

Example: Y = 20 yds, R = 100 yds X2 = R2 - Y2 = 1002 - 202 = 9600 = 98
