My rifle drops 75" at 600yds, I'm certain of this as I practice regularly at this range. When I'm practicing it's on flat ground and shoot pretty consistently out to 600yds. So here's my question, if I'm shooting out of my deer stand which has a shooting height of 22', what will my bullet do at 600? I've shot at 2 does and appear to be shooting over them. Any ideas?

.7 degrees. Angle is adding approx 1.56". I think you just missed
Edit: 600 on a real life target is tough didn't mean to sound negative. You probably have a worse rest, adrenalin, only one shot etc. I've never killed anything that far and probably couldn'tLast edited by TexMax; 01-24-2016, 10:58 AM. -
My thoughts are that at 600yrds your 22 ft elevation wouldn't change your angle enough to make an adjustment in your approach. That would be less than a 5* angle change on flat ground. Elevation change in the terrain may make a bigger difference. 5* up and a 10* slope downward to 600 yrds would start to add up. Wind conditions would make a much bigger difference.Comment

Without having caliber, scope height, barrel length, bullet weight, speed & b.c., it is hard to figure the mathematical data. I'd stick a target out to 600 yards from the stand and see what happens. Also sighting in prone and hunting in a seated position "can" change the way you are handling rifle and viewing scope. If you can practice out of the stand would be the best way to see what is really going on.Comment
