[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1645254, member: 6291"] Ya I read that article and it was helpful. If I understand correctly the more you shoot down or up will give you the most angle and the most deviation with elevation. If your 100' up and your line of sight is 100 yds the deviation factor due to elevation is greater than being 100' up and shooting 300 yds, but when you factor the distance in also it start bringing them closer together. When looking at the charts like you posted it appears the degree of angle is calculated from the target at a level surface, to your muzzle. I know the apps want you to sit the phone on your barrel as you point it at the target so they can get that angle. I think the part I'm missing is how to calculate that degree of angle. That's one of those sine/ cosine deals that is out of my realm. If I'm 100' up, line of sight is 200yds to target (hypotenuse), I think one of those formulas will tell you the degree of angle I need to use the chart you posted. [/QUOTE]
