JARACAL

Many hunters get all worked up when they must shoot uphill or downhill. Angled shooting does affect bullet flight. When you shoot up- or downhill, you need less trajectory correction. Gravity is the force that all bullets must reckon with, and it starts pulling bullets toward Earth as soon as they exit a barrel. Fortunately, gravity is a constant, which allows us to make accurate predictions no matter the shot angle.

To get the true horizontal or level distance, you must solve a right-angle triangle. (You should have paid more attention during high school trigonometry and physics.)
