Some people just have to make things more complicated than they really are
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.

RE: I figured it out!!! Treestand height affecting shot.
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[

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!

Wrong answer ! Nope aint buying it, you will not gain 10 fps second shooting at that angle. The answer is gravity , gravity pulls an arrow down as you shoot horizontally when you shoot down gravity doesnt have that same pull cause your already shooting down, theres no arch in the path of the arrow when your shooting down. same with a rifle shooting down a mountain.

It doesn't matter if you are shooting uphill or downhill, it has a trajectory that is not flat.
