This has been a labor of love!

The projectile has similar forces acting on it as your car does going up a hill without the gas peddle being pressed.

So when traveling up hill it takes longer to arrive. This additional time translates into more time for gravity to work on the pellet.

The inverse is true for down hill… taking less time to arrive on target.

But other factors are at play including velocity, distance, angle, wind, and the ballistic coefficient of your projectile. In short; go shoot some tin cans and “know your gun”.

makes a different on what kind of ammo you are shooting…for example i have that problem with cromags but no shift of poi with kodiacks…

I think I see page 5 in this threads future… 😆

Now say if the target is closer than your zero to where you would need to aim high on level ground. Would you aim on target at 45 and 30 degrees?

You tell me 😀

Take a shot at a branch, pinecone or leaf and let us know 😀

Anything closer than your zero point will be lower than the cross hairs but
the POI will still be higher than it would have been for a level shot…

Up to a point until you have to hold over again due to scope to bore difference….
Sheesh, so many things to remember, its a wonder I fill my bag….. 😆
