    Horizontal range is what your looking for
    Better shooters than me will come along and explain it properly I'm sure.
    Best article ive ever read on it, basic rule of thumb. If targets at a 30 degree angle, treat the range as 90%. If target at 45 degree, treat it as 70% range.
    Has only let me down shooting 900m at steel, small angle made a big differenec
