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

EXAMPLES
• 1. 600 yds @ 30 deg =
• 2. 600 yds @ 45 deg =
• 3. 500 yds @ 40 deg =
• 4. 400 yds @ 25 deg =
• 5. 300 yds @ 40 deg =
.70 so (600 x .70)= 420 Yards
.78 so (500 x .78)= 390 Yards
.90 so (400 x .90)= 360 Yards
.78 so (300 x .78)= 234 Yards
.86 so (600 x .86)= 516 Yards
