If your target is at a lower elevation you aim low. - If it's low, shoot low.
If your target is at a higher elevation you aim high. - If it's high, shoot high.
I do not believe that is correct.
Lets just say the path of a bullet drops 10" at 200 yds on flat ground, well 300yds uphill could only be 200 yds horizontal, vice versa for down hill.
You have to pretend your still shooting horizontal whether its up or down.
This will boggle the mind:
Lets just pretend we are shooting on the flatest and levelest place on earth, perfectly flat for miles. If I took a rifle andshot it horizontaly from the standing position and dropped the same grain bullet from the same height, at exactly the same time,both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.
You are correct with the same grain bullet hitting the ground at the same time...But, you need not use the same grain (weight bullet)...weight has absolutely nothing to do with it.
This means that if no air resistance is present, two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height.
You could fire you rifle, and if I dropped a cannon ball at the exact same moment, they would both hit the ground at the same time....
