Some people just have to make things more complicated than they really are:eek: If you know your ability and your equipment, and you know how to hunt, you dont need the a squared x's b squared..........save that crap for the classroom![8D] Go out and practice!

Yes yes I do understand, LOL. It has nothing to do with velocity, accleration, hypothesis right triangles or anything. it's all about gravity thats it.

no. you are still mistaken ;)

This whole thread flew right over my head without dropping an inch :).

just what i needed somethin else to worry about, if a deer is standing 27.4 yrds out he's 36" tall at the shoulder, the platform for my stand is at 19'3" i'm 5'10" and i weigh 215lbs and the wind is from the north and i'm shooting 100gr mechanical bh's, with a release, my bow is shooting 278fps, and the hillside i'm hunting is a 13.6% grade, should i use my 30 yrd pin and shoot low or my 20 yrd and aim high[&o], cause if i got to buy a scientific calculator for this the wife is gonna have a cow[:o]

Gibblet do you know that if you stand on a hill at the right grade you could use your 10 yd pin all the way out to 100yds ?

No way can I figure that out on sloped terrain and from different heights I hunt. I have a simpler solution...... SHOOT THE DANG DEER!:)

Zrexpilot: Wrong answer. Gravity has the same pull on everything no matter which way it is going. Gravity is an acceleration, therefore all objects will feel the same acceleration until they meet terminal velocity. Also there IS "arch" in anything you shoot; rifle, bow, or sling shot. It doesn't matter if you are shooting uphill or downhill, it has a trajectory that is not flat. As soon as a projectile leaves gravity is automatically pulling it off the horizontal path. For this reason bullets and arrows are must be aimed high in order to hit a down range target at the correct height.

Get on a skyscraper and shoot perfectly straight down and tell me it has an arch.
