SHOOTING FROM STAND
HOW WOULD YOU HOLD SHOOTING FROM A 12FT HIGH STAND OUT TO FEEDER 100 YRD AT A PIG? RIFLE SHOT IN ON AT 100 YRD DEAD ON

Dead on ... the difference isn't enough to really matter ...
(a-squared + b squared = c squared. a = 12 feet, b=300 feet, c-squared=90144, sqrt(90144)=300.239904077 feet, convert to yards = 100.079968026 yards actual distance)0 -
As with 100 yard drop. True horizontal distance for drop. At 12 ft, you have no issues to worry about. 0 -
I would hold it right under the pig's ear. You won't see anything drop faster.

Please stop typing in all capital letter's. It is not correct, unprofessional, and very anoying.0 -
12' in 100 yards is an insignificant angle and will not affect point of impact enough to be measured using a hunting rifle and field rest. 0 -
12 feet at 25 yards might be a different story. 0 -
Llama, worked it out for you with the pythagorean theorem.
I haved used the same math to prove that the fancy range finders in the market with the angle trajector compensator are not really as useful and needed as they say they are.
They make it sound like if you don't use their product you can't make shots with bow or gun at angles.
If you are (x) amount of feet in a tree or on a hill, the closer the target the more the shot differs. The farther away the less compensation you need.
BUT, here's the kicker....If you are 20ft in a tree and something is, lets say...30 yrds away, you aim as if it's 30.7yds away. Really .7yrds difference, how did we ever make kill shots before these new gadgets.
Ok, another example. This time we are 25ft in tree and we are shooting a gun @ 300yds. You would aim as if the animal was 300.1 yrds away.
Now the times when the angle range finders come into play is when you shoot way up/down a slope. But, even then, they are not compensating for much unless you are shooting @ more than 300yds in that situation.
Put it right on the mark and let er' rip tater chip!0 -

You have that all wrong...the distance of the C is not the distance that gravity effects...it is the distance that the projectile travels, that is perpendicular to the force of gravity. The hypotenose is not that...it is the cosine.
So in reality it should be a=12 feet, and c=300 feet, and b then equals 299.75 feet, or 99.91 yards.
In your example witht the target 90 feet away, and you are 20 feet high, you should hold for 87.74 feet, or 29.24 yards.

I kept it simple so others could follow.
The point is at 100yrds @ that height I gave the difference is less than one yard.
Thats my point simply.[:o)]0
