	Good day; a bunch of us were talking the other day and discussing the angle of the bullets path as it arrived at the ram and turkey and how to understand better the visual queues you see from bullet strikes. I believe I could calculate but I am confident this group has already figured this out. I understand that some specifics need to be defined. Assume a 45 cal, 550 grain bullet at 1300 fps. Zero wind and no elevation difference of target to shooting position. Does anyone know the approximate angle of the bullets path through the vertical plane of the target face? Hopefully this question is clearly stated. Thanks all.

	Easiest way to estimate it is to compare the drop at 900 and 1000 and do the geometry. Won't miss 5 degrees very far. CHRIS
