Shooting range at angles

https://brycetowsley.com/tactical/all-the-angles
"The laws of gravity are fixed, the bullet is still dropping to the earth at a rate of acceleration of 32 feet per second-per second no matter what angle you are shooting from. What has changed is the angle or the line of sight relative to the bullet's path. This makes the shot impact higher than expected, both when shooting up and when shooting down.

The key to hitting the target is found in doing the math, using the proper cosine to figure the hold or dial up, or let one of the ballistic programs or apps handle it. What you don't need to worry about is the "flat line distance" to the target."
