matt_hooks 188 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm sure there was a post somewhere on the riflemans rule, might well have been by Si? The wiki dealing with it is helpful in understanding it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_rule Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good vid! One thing thats always confused me is shooting up at a steep angle from the ground, for example alot of my shooting is at crows/pigeon that land in tall trees whislt i sit in cover at the base. I have to aim well below above the cross hair. It kind of makes sense why you have to do this, but when i try to think about it more it confuses me haha The pellet drop/bullet drop doesn,t change no matter what the angle. It is the angle between the line of departure and the bullet drop that changes, hence the reason that the pellet/bullet will strike high when shooting at the same distance as on level ground, either up or downhill. It always led to the advice as a kid when out with a .410, "always aim at their feet", when shooting pigeons in trees. (whether this was right or wrong with a shotgun, is besides the point. It always worked and I still do it! Quote Link to post
