Where did it go……And how far……?
My use of trigonometry only comes in to play these days when laying out a large fabrication job on the floor ( 3-4-5) to get a right angle.
I shoot from my quad sticks 90% of the time for foxes also a few Muntjac and always wondered what angle the round was travelling at?
My zero plate is around 14 inches high ( around the height of a fox side on)
As I zero at 200 yards this gives a few known factors for working out the angle,
Yes there is bullet drop but just for the purposes of the maths and to avoid any bun fights I worked it out at 6 degrees’
Height of my rifle on the sticks is 56” and the target/fox is 14” with the distance of 200 yards, also my sticks would be at 90 deg.
So 56-14 = 42
Then divide 42 by 200 yards (7200 inches) = 0.0058 (6deg)
My question is…How far would the round travel past the 14 inch target at the same angle.
For the purpose of the question I was not including bullet drop as it would involve a lot of different data.
Just a bit of fun so no falling out please…..
