Uphill:  Intuitively, most bowhunters would not expect the same situation when shooting uphill as they would downhill.   However, from an aiming standpoint, they are nearly identical.  Your arrow will hit HIGH unless you aim LOW.  A 40 yard shot up a 30 degree slope requires you to aim as if the intended target were only 35 yards away.  If the up-slope is a more gradual 20 degrees, aim as if the target were 38 yards away.

Most hunters certainly don't want to take a scientific calculator and a list of trigonometry equations into the field with them.  They need a product that will quickly give them answers.  Slope-Shot is a newly designed inclinometer with a "push and hold" device that easily holds the needle allowing for an accurate reading of any slope.  Once the angle and distance to target is found, the Cut-Chart provided enables the hunter to quickly and accurately determine the corrected distance to a target located up or down a hill.  This information becomes even more critical for long shots in steep terrain.

his picture of Slope-Shot mounted on a rangefinder, shows that the button is located at the bottom and the needle is pointed at zero when the rangefinder is level.

Though the provided Cut-Chart should adequately accommodate most of today's archery setups there may be slight variations.  The Cut-Charts are for a bow shooting a 400 grain arrow at 250 fps (feet per second).  Even if your setup is different, any bow shooting within 60 grains and 40 fps should only see a difference of ±1 yard/meter.  Additional Cut-Charts can be printed from our Cut-Chart page.  These will accommodate aluminum and heavier carbon arrows.  We also have a Cut-chart for rifles and muzzle loaders.
