I've been told that any angle shots, up or down, less than 15% should be considered flat, as far as POA/POI goes. And according to my MIL dot master, there's no calculations for anything under 15% which would support this theory.
I guess I didn't realize just how much of an angle 15% actually is. I was scouting a new location today for a 100-400 yard shooting lane, and as I went farther away, I had to go up a large hill. When I got to the top of the hill and I could see the target, I checked the angle it was about 13-14 degrees downhill from the firing position to the target.
I know it's only 13-14 degrees, but it sure seems like a steep angle. Will this have any effect on POI.
FYI, I'm shooting .308.
