How to Shoot a Rifle at Steep Angles: Essential Tips For Improved Accuracy

This year’s Deer hunt brought me to some unfamiliar, high angle terrain. I spot my buck, set up for the shot, but realize I’m about to shoot at a crazy high angle. What was the formula again? Do I aim high or low with an angle this extreme?

Luckily for me, I caught this video from Brian Neece right before my trip. If I were you (unless you can answer the question I just posed) I’d give it a watch. You’ll thank me (or rather, Brian)
