Shooting on an Incline or Decline for the bowhunter
Sun, 01/15/2012 - 10:28
 
This last deer season I was fortunate to arrow a whitetail from five yards out of a treestand in NY. The shot was fairly simple, no obstructions and easy to range. Back in California, I passed up a shot on a jumpy deer at what I felt was 30 yards, but wasn't sure because of the sheer elevation difference and all of the weeds in the way. I knew that in order to get my confidence level up to a higher standard I needed to understand the rangefinder, the elevation difference and get to shooting at those levels.
Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo from Archer's Choice recently won a Nikon award for excellence for this how-to video describing the ID technology of the Archer's Choice Rangefinder. It just so happens that this is the rangefinder that I use. Guess it's time to get down to business! Go to the SoCal Bowhunter blog and check out the video Ralph and Vicki put together.

It deffinatelly pays to practice that stuff for sure Al. I try to take the 3D out at least a couple times a week and set up in the steepest stuff I can find and shoot both up and downhill. Great practice and great fun.
