From my experience it's the most commonly stuffed up shot of all........ but the range doesn't matter. Whether it's 30 or 300 yards the angle of compensation will be the same. The factor that would alter shot placement is the angle of the hill.

It's not bullet drop that stuffs it up, it's the fact that the hunter (incorrectly) thinks of the animal as a one dimensional target and places his bullet where it would be if the shot were on flat ground. As it's not, the bullet doesn't hit the vitals at all and merely causes a non fatal wound. - which is the point of placing the targets like that. - The centre target represents the engine room of the animal - but of course, that target is obscured by the target in front of it, which represents the outside skin of the animal.........

The object of the excercise isn't to test your knowledge of bullet drop - the hunter should know that before he goes hunting..... the object of the excercise is to see how well the hunter can place his bullet in the engine room on an up or down hill shot......
