It’s that once-in-a-lifetime shot. You’ve made the climb up the mountain and your reward, a beautiful bighorn sheep, is standing broadside at about a 45-degree angle above you and about 400 yards away. You adjust your scope for 400 yards, get a firm rest, align your crosshairs and squeeze the trigger. What happened? You’ve practiced at the range hitting these shots every day, but today you just crushed the rock about a foot over the sheep’s back. When shooting at angles, gravity affects your bullet differently. Learn from Ryan Cleckner how to correctly anticipate bullet drop when faced with an uphill or downhill shot.
