So do you guys take out your graphing calculator wiht you out on the hill? I believe what you're saying but how do you apply that to real world hunting?
What I mean is you can't calculate the actual distance based on the math formula in 3 seconds, right? So if your rangefinder says 350 yds. and the hill is somewhat steep how do you know how high to hold? I mean you can't accurately determine the pitch either without some tools. So how high do you really know to hold?
I don't think that's what we meant, you just guestimate distance and pitch. But the truth is, IT IS a different shot than a flat one. It is just something that with experience, different shots will give you better judgement. But 220 yards at a 30 degree pitch is siginificantly different than 220 yards flat.
