I killed a bear with a knife!

By gunwriter Shooting at steep angles is challenging for three reasons. The first reason is the ballistics can be hard to comprehend. The second is finding a place to practice steep angle shooting. And, the third reason is getting into a stable position to shoot at a steep angle – particular up – can be very difficult. The Ballistics Gravity controls trajectory and gravity only works over the horizontal line of a bullet’s flight. Therefore, when shooting at a steep angle your bullet’s path is the hypotenuse of a right triangle but gravity is only working on the triangle’s base. So, the trick is figuring out how all this impacts your point of impact. When shooting at big game animals at distances inside 300 yards with high velocity rifle cartridges, you don’t have to worry about the angles too much; it’s hard to find an angle to shoot at, steep enough to cause a miss. You can use many smart phone based calculators to solve the problem or you can use a range finder that delivers the true range. You can also use the chart below. Practicing Few of us live where we can practice our math when it comes to steep …Read the Rest
