If your 300ft above a deer at 300yards or 300ft below one looking up gravity will be way different... You would aim lower if above and higher if below...
Whether shooting from above or from below, one would normally aim LOWER than when aiming horizontally. This is because you have reduced the total horizontal distance between the shooter and the target in both cases. Check it on any rangefinder with bullet drop compensator and it will confirm this.
@PyroGeeks There are many rangefinders now that can determine the angle of a target in addition to the distance. Angle + distance makes for more accuracy.

I dont get it, I thought all rangefinders just finds how far the object is away from you.How does angle have anything to do with it?
