We were told to hit the bull's eye of a target that is on a steepincline uphill or downhill from us we must calculate the horizontaldistance the target is from us and ignore the vertical distance thebullet travels. The reason given was that gravity acts upon thebullet only to the extent of it's horizontal travel.
The exact example given was: a target 1300 yards away as measureduphill, is only 775 yards away horizontally and therefore we holdas though the target is 775 yards away. It does not matter whetherwe are shooting uphill or downhill, the hold would be thesame.
Is this example accurate. Can you explain to me why this isso?
drop ame level as the shooter and 300 yards away if the trajectoryof a bullet fired up hill or downhill will be that of a bullet
