This video explains the 'Rifleman's Rule' for calculating adjusted range in angled shooting scenarios. It highlights the inaccuracy of applying a cosine correction directly to the range, emphasizing that bullet drop is non-linear with range due to velocity loss. The speaker advises that this method becomes less accurate beyond 500 yards and 20 degrees of angle, leading to overcorrection and impacting low.

This guide details the technique for using a smart ballistic laser rangefinder for angled shots, as demonstrated by Brian Poor of Gunwerks Long Range University. It explains the physics behind angled shots, contrasts older rangefinder methods with modern smart devices, and provides steps for achieving accurate impacts by applying calculated ballistic solutions. The demonstration highlights the significant difference in accuracy between traditional and smart rangefinders on steep terrain.
