ANGLE SHOOTING

When it comes to the angle shooting most people are confused about the bullets path
when shooting uphill or downhill

The angled side of a right angle triangle is always the longest side. This is the path that
the bullet takes. Gravity only works on the horizontal component, which is shorter than
the bullet's path. Since gravity is what causes a bullet to drop, you have to aim as if the
target is closer to you than it really is, which means that you aim lower than you
normally would. This applies to both up hill and down hill shooting.
The ram is really 400 yards away, but gravity
only has 346.4 yards to work. Our KOC reticles
compensates for this accordingly and
accurately
