Tim Finley explains the overall importance of shooting on the level.
One piece of kit that can really make a massive difference to your scores in field target shooting, and your efficiency as a hunter, is a spirit-level bubble. Field target courses can be built practically anywhere, but sloping ground is a favourite for course designers because it unsettles the shooting position and can fool the unwary when it comes to range finding, too. The target appears to be further away, or even closer, with the shooters’ MKI eyeball – or ‘naked eye’, if you want to call it that. It depends upon the projected angle from the shooting position, but it is very unlikely that you will have the gun level at all.
