Deer Hunter Shot
How will elevation effect shooting?
I am a hunter of deer and small game. I prefer to hunt at ground level however often sit i tree stands as much as 30 feet up. I just want to know how this change in elevation compared to my quarry will effect my point of impact. Note that i am using a 12 gauge shot gun for deer and a .22 rifle for small game. Both are sighted in at ground level.
There is an entire science dedicated to different elevation trajectory shooting. The Sierra reloading manuals covers this the best - it's in the back reference area and they dedicated a full chapter to shooting at target boths above you (shooting up hill) and below you (shooting down hill).
That said - all these laws of physics become more applicable the greater the distance between the shooter and target. Considering the short range of the 12 ga and 22 rimfire - it's in the order of just 1/4 to 1/2 inch of error at these low distances and difference in elevation of simply shooting from a tree.
Bottom line - good question - but these errors do not concern you. You would have to be an Olympic class shooter requiring gold medal accuracy for you to need to consider this error into your sight picture.
Hope this helps.
