Check out this video by Ryan Cleckner of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. He's a former US Army Sniper Leader and Instructor with the 1st Ranger Battalion. He has several U-Tube Videos that teach about what MOA means and how to use them, What Mil Rads mean and how to use them, and how to estimate wind and how it affects the bullet and also how to compensate for shooting up and down hill. The latter is what you are wanting to know about.
So this is the video of the information that you want to know about.
While you are watching this video you can subscribe to this U tube Channel and make it easier to find the other NSSF U-Tube Videos by Ryan in the list below.
But to understand this video above, you might want to review a few of the other videos first. They will explain the fundamentals so that you can better understand the video about shooting up hill and downhill.
Mounting the Scope properly would be the first one that I would recommend viewing and learning about. Because none of this stuff will work right if you scope is not properly leveled and mounted on the scope. And if the rings are not lined up properly your shots might be off. So learning how to properly mount the scope onto the rifle is KEY.
Then figuring out how far your bullets drop at various ranges with YOUR particular rifle is next. This information will be needed to figure out how many MOA's up or down that you have to adjust your scope turret to compensate for shooting longer ranges from your zero point.
You can learn to figure out distance to the target using a Mil Rad Scope Reticle in another video.
And then another video shows you how to estimate the wind and make adjustments for wind using the Mil dots in the scope's reticle.
Finally you can watch the video on how to compensate for shooting uphill and downhill.
I enjoy watching Ryan Teach these shooting concepts and I've learned a lot from him in a short time. I think he's a good instructor and these are excellent teaching videos. Just take your time and watch them a few times to let the information soak in.

Most of them have scopes ,but none of my scopes are of the tactical type.I have several scopes with Ballistic reticles and these seem most practical for hunting purposes. Am I missing out? What are the advantages of tactical scopes. I will be upgrading scopes on a couple of rifles and just looking for opinions and advice. Thanks for any input.
