Have to be able to shoot from anywhere, any angle.

Nice share. I know from hunting in western Montana that angles and altitude make a big difference in shot hold. It would be nice to get the experience that these guys have.

CW5 Jack Cardwell - Especially down hill where gravity has less effects on shot placement. It erases some distance hold but the angle dictates how much. Lots of math to be done but you have to know the angle and distance for sure.

TSgt David L. - funny thing, I am much better at downhill shooting than uphill. Even though, it should be the opposite. But I still need my practice before every hunting season starts.

SMSgt Thor Merich - It seems (I'm not up on the latest theories on it) that you have less adjustments going with gravity. Uphill requires the compensation. I don't think most of us have the area to properly train for the affects in real time, and you can't duplicate it on a normal range.

As much as I would love to get better at longer range shooting , I don't have a range that I have access to that has distances more than 200 yds.

Then practice with a .22LR at 200 yards.

SSG Tom Pike when I get an invite I do. My range has an indoor 100 yd range that I shoot .22 LR and .223/556. If I take my rifle up to my farmland in NC, which is a 7.5 hr drive I can get a good 200+ yd distance, but that is only once or twice a year.
