When shooting uphill or downhill, the bullet will impact high, requiring the shooter to aim lower than the true distance. Calculate the correct elevation hold by multiplying the true distance by the cosine of the angle. Windage adjustments, however, must always be based on the true distance. Angles in natural terrain rarely exceed 30 degrees.
This guide, presented by former special operations sniper Ryan Cleckner, breaks down the concept of Milliradians (MILs) for long-range shooting. It explains MILs as a ratio (1 MIL = 1/1000th of distance), details how scope adjustments (typically 0.1 MIL per click) translate to precise centimeter adjustments at specific ranges, and demonstrates shot correction calculations. The importance of understanding bullet trajectory, DOPE, and establishing a 100-meter zero is also covered, emphasizing practical application for accuracy.
