This guide details techniques for shooting uphill with a bipod, a common challenge for mountain hunters. Key considerations include establishing a stable position with good foot purchase, actively loading into the bipod to manage recoil, and maintaining proper body-to-rifle contact. The video highlights the importance of preventing the rifle from sliding back and emphasizes maintaining correct eye relief to avoid scope bite on steep inclines.

This podcast episode, originally from 2001, revisits the fundamental physics of bullet trajectory. Tom Gresham explains that a bullet drops from the moment it leaves the muzzle due to gravity, and its apparent upward path is a result of the scope being mounted higher than the barrel, requiring the barrel to aim upward to intersect the line of sight. The discussion also covers how uphill and downhill shooting angles affect bullet impact and the importance of understanding trajectory for accurate shooting.
