Steep incline shooting from a hide tip

[zini 1,939]

Hi lads,

 

Just a quick tip for shooting up a steep incline from a hide.

 

It may help someone who is intending on doing some brancher shooting.

 

I also cover gravity and trajectory.

 

Remember not to go to far back with the hide though or you will over compensate for the hold under that you need to apply to hit the steep target and slant range will come into play and you will have to aim high with hold over to hit your target.

 

Just be aware though that you may not be able to build the hide slightly beyond your normal zero point due to thickness of the tree leave or terrain so you will have to go back to standing at the base of the tree your shooting at and aiming straight up with a steep target angle.

 

In this case your pellet will definitely fly high.

 

Another tip to help you here with estimating the required hold under is to shoot at a tree which is about the same height as the ones that you will be shooting into. Make sure that you stand at the same distance from the base of the tree and shoot at a point on the tree where the birds will be perched.

 

Note where the pellet impacts on the tree by keeping your scope cross hair onto the aim point and seeing where the impact is above the cross hair.

 

This is now where you need to aim on the corvids head in the real tree to compensate for your hold under

Here is the new link to the footage as I have slightly edited the video to make it easier to understand and more ballistically correct for the so called air rifle professors and ballistic Gods that keep emailing me from YouTube LOL.

 

You always get 1 don’t you?

 

Bloody cyber hunters I call them, or read it and I’ve done it hunters.

 

Probably never hit a thing in their whole life’s

hi ya si buddy

alot of people tend to forget that if it is over 45 degrees that they need to aim low i do a few times forget to do it but with the hide being that bit further away you will flatten the 45 out about good idea buddy this will help alot of people and all this on your dvd mate fantastic si i have already told brenden that i am watching it first lol i aint sharing this time ive only just got your other one back off him but good write up and vid again buddy, did you get the youtube link i sent ya ?
