Yesterday I was a bit bored so I started shooting leaves at the top of two gum trees. This was safe as the pellets fell within my property. Anyway the first tree was about 40 metres high and the angle was about 50 deg. Using a half a mil dot holdover I was regularly putting holes in the leaves.
I moved to another tree that is about 60 metres high and the angle was about 70 to 80 deg. This is where things changed. I started shooting at the leaves using the same holdover and I could see the pellets going above the leaf that I was shooting at. In the end to be able to hit the leaves I was aiming at I had to use a half mildot hold under. You wouldn’t think there would be that much change.
