[QUOTE="blackco, post: 157151, member: 7356"] OK. My dad always told me there was a difference between shooting uphill and shooting downhill and after reading what the pros had to say I always told him BS. (politely, he raised me that way) Now maybe I'm taking this to an extreme but I'm a very visual person; I just printed out a random trajectory graph (this one only goes to 400yds)...if I rotate it clockwise ABOUT 45* the bullets in this chart "SHOULD" be dropping straight down (no further effect from gravity) and if I rotate it the same angle counterclockwise...the bullets in this chart are just starting to fall below horizontal (full effect of gravity). So, a few questions arise in my little pea brain: A. Is this what you guys are already talking about and I'm just starting to catch up? B. Is this to extreme to matter to us as shooters? C. Am I just oversimplifying a very complex process because my brain is having trouble grasping the whole thing? If you print out a drop graph and rotate it you will see what I'm talking about. I understand the horizontal distances are affected by rotating the graph but the effect is still there. I have a feeling there is probably a very easy explanition for what I am seeing, I just don't know what it is. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
