Any safety issues or problems hanging targets vertical at long distance. All my close targets have 15 degree slope. Vertical targets show up better and range easier with mils beyond 300 yards. My 1000 yds is vertical and shows up much better than the angled targets. Stands are not an issue.Looking for your input new to the game.
Thanks
 
Re: Targets vertical or inclined beyond 300 yards?

Not really. At long distance, the bullet is coming in at a slight downward trajectory which is essentially creating the same deflection effect as if the target were close but angled downward.
