How can such a little product make so much sense?
Sized like a credit card. Small enough to fit in your pocket. Long distance shooting demands accuracy that a 100 yards poke at a deer don't demand.
When I was growing up I was told, "Hold high for downhill shots and low for uphill shots. " Clearly the mentor of my youth never did any long distance shooting of consequence. How low or high? It wasn't until I got to school that I figured out that you hold low shooting in either direction, up or down.
Great, one piece of the puzzle was acquired but still an important component was missing. What distance do I hold for at various angles? Enter the Slope Doper.
Simply place on your barrel as if you were going to shoot. That will give you the angle and the corresponding quotient. Using your laser range finder simply multiply the distance by the quotient.
575 yards to target X 0.87 quotient (30 degree slope) = 575 × 0.87 = 500.
So you would hold, or dial up your turrets, for 500 yards.
If you're like me you left math when you left high school. I'm no math whiz. I need all the help I can get. The Slope Doper is small, lightweight, and most of all ready to use. I do recommend one carry a small calculator to do the calculations, most phones now have this feature, but if you desire you can do it by pen and paper.
This little gadget comes with instructions that are easy to follow and takes the guesswork out of those difficult shots. I elect to use this over the ballistic drop feature in my laser rangefinder because the exact bullet drop of my loads is not in the pre set program. Since error is magnified at distance, in my case, I elected to use a different way to solve my problem.
The Slope Doper cost less than a box of premium bullets and helps to take the guess work out of those difficult angled shots. I highly recommend it.
