up hill shooting

[jollyroger]

A friend and I were discussing high and low angle shooting... what is the proper shot adjustment for shooting up/down hill?

The bullet will strike high. For most angles at most shooting distances for big game, don't worry about it.

There is a great article by Craig Boddington about this very topic in last months issue of Rifle Shooter. Very informative. Involves basic trigonometry to find the flat angle range (which should be used) instead of the up/downhill range.
