[QUOTE="FLTENNHUNTER1, post: 5757722, member: 5033"] Basically, the angled distance of the shot is longer than the true horizontal distance. Think of it as the hypotenuse (C) of a right triangle. The longer leg of the triangle (C) is the upward or downward angle you are shooting; the actual bullet path is the true horizontal (B) distance (the shorter leg of the right triangle). [ATTACH type="full"]201943[/ATTACH] For example, when I am in a tree stand with my bow, I use my rangefinder to tell me the true horizontal distance by shooting a tree straight across from me at the same height of my tree stand. That is the true shooting distance (horizontal) rather than the longer angled shot to the base of the tree. If I used the angled distance I would hit high because the angled distance is longer. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
