I would have to disagree, i had a great rest with bipod and no pressure as animal was standing front on and still , distance was fine,
i aimed right in the brisket- shot felt good but went high- first time shooting at such a steep angle so hence why i asked question about change in point of impact and how to work it out should i be in that position again.
If it was on the flat i think there would have been no dramas- anyhow was a good learning experience for me
