What's up everybody? We have 10 minutes here with Mr. Nick Lofenberg to discuss

Angles and don't worry this is going to be more fun than your old high school geometry class because these angles are related to shooting and whether you are a

you know PRS long-range competitor recreational shooter or even a hunter this may be

stuff that you want to know about in order to increase your potential accuracy or decrease your

potential for error down range.

So Nick, Angles in Shooting.

Now one thing everybody's going to notice if you're watching on

YouTube the old giant monitor is back. We bring that in on occasion we have a

digital media to display here for you and right away off the bat we see back here the rifleman's rule this is one that probably everyone

thinks about when they think about considering angles when they're when they're shooting

and uh... even archers think about this one a fair amount to which is the horizontal

component distance that's like where you're shooting at an upward angle or a

downward angle and you're taking the actual linear distance, you know, rather than the angular distance.

Can you go into this one a little bit for those not familiar?

Yeah, so if anybody uses one of our range finders especially, I know that other companies use different terminology, but we use horizontal component distance.

And if you pick up one of our range finders, you can change it between a couple of different modes, one being horizontal component or

hcid or lOS which means line of sight. So what horizontal component

distance is actually referring to is the distance that gravity is actually affecting the bullet.

Gravity is a downward force so if you're shooting uphill or downhill it's still

only being affected for the distance that it's perpendicular to the to the force of

gravity. The, the horizontal.

Which is that green line there,
