Use the straight-line distance to the target. This is the distance needed for the calculation. In this example, a guesstimated angle of 45 degrees and a 28 yard straight line distance will require an aiming distance of 19.8 yards. Remember, it doesn't matter if the angle is up or down, the answer is still the same.

Straight Line Distance (yards)
Angle (degrees)
With a straight line distance of 0 yards and an angle of 0 degrees,
aim as if you're shooting at a distance of 0 yards.
