[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1645283, member: 498"] I never worry about it. Just hold the middle of the chest right behind the front shoulder and touch it off. A hundred feet of difference on a 200 yard shot is pretty much flat ground around here. Shooting down hill hold higher. Not because of bullet trajectory but because of the bullet path through the animal. I have seen both deer and elk where the entrance hold looks real good but do to the steep angle the bullet went below the vital organs. I would imagine the same thing could happen on a up hill shot. With the bullet passing over the vitals. I just can't remember taking a steep up hill shot. I always hunt so I am up hill of the animals. [/QUOTE]
