Default Why The Bullet Hits Higher When Shooting Uphill or Downhill







I attempted to develop a graph that would show the entire trajectory path for a 100 yard up angle shot. But that was not possible because of the scale.

So I came up with this one that shows the last yard of the bullet's path when shooting at a 100 yard target on a forty-five degree upward angle with a rifle that was sighted in for a 100 yard zero over level ground.
