Sighting in on unlevel ground

Recommended Posts

If you sight in and the target is say about 5 ft lower over a 100 yard distance (ground slopes downhill vs. shooting position) will it effect you sighting in accuracy vs. sighting in on perfectly level ground?

At what point does the slope effect sighing in?

Thanks,

Mike

It would make it shoot lower on level, but not very much with your example. Shots taken up/down at target will be high as the distance is shorter - shooter to target - than it would be on the level, so gravity doesn't have as long a distance to work on the projectile.

I ran some calculations on the Strelok+ app and only after 5 degrees did I get an adjustment of one hundredth of an inch at 100 yards.

It's well worth the download if you don't have it already.

Does it have the MTAC reticle?

Yes it does

It has a huge list of reticles. The JM Vortex reticle was only available with the paid version so in yours isn't on the free version make sure to check the paid one. Well worth $5
