On a lot of sites, including this one: http://www.shooterscalculator.com/ballistic-trajectory-chart.php, you can plug in the angle of the trajectory.

When I knew I was going to be hunting the spot pictured below, I reran the numbers for the angle down to the to that pond about 550 yds distant. I think it only changed the point of impact a couple of inches, but I can't recall for certain. That was about a year and a half ago. I'm going back there this October if I don't draw a tag for the unit on which my property sits. The one in the pic is OTC.
