I don't have any problems with my wood stock guns because I have floated the barrels. Solves that problem.
Shooting up hill or down can make somewhat of a difference. Lets say your gun is sighted in for dead on at 200 yards. That would mean it would be aprox 1 inch high at 150 yards.
Now lets say you are shooting at something 300 yards, but shooting at a 45 degree angle (not highly likely, but not out of the relm of possibility in the mountains). That means you would have to sight as if he was 150 yards instead of 300. But that bullet at 300 yards would be around 6-7 inches low (in most calibers). So, instead of holding 6-7 inches high, you would hold dead on for a 300 yard shot at a 45 degree angle.
Factor in the narrowed effective target and that can be a reason for a miss. If you are looking down at an animal, you don't have the full width of him to shoot at because on the angle, he is narrower.
Just one more thing to make your mind go crazy when the big-un steps out!
