Long range shooting question

On 220 yard shot with a 10 degree uphill angle how much does it decrease the yardage?
Comments
15-20 degree slope = 95% of slope distance
25-30 degree slope = 90% of slope distance
35-40 degree slope = 80% of slope distance
45 degree slope = 70% of slope distance
For more exact numbers you need to get out a COSINE CHART.

Regardless, good luck on good shot placement! And nice to see you trying to ensure as accurate and ethical shot placement as possible.
