Sierra's website has a new article on angle firing. The bottom line for scope adjustments seems to be that you'll correct for angle fire by taking the scope elevation for the slope range X cos slope angle. This method seems to be more accurate than using the scope adjustments for the horizontal range calculated from the slope range X cos slope angle.
And a couple of articles on ranging methods, other than using an LRF or mil-dots. It's probably a good idea to have some knowledge of these methods...batteries die unexpectedly and anyone who's ever used a mil dot scope has found that they're prone to user error. One from Dean Michaelis / SP uses the mil dot reticle and the scope elevation to acquire the target range. Another from Kevin Mussack / SH has several options for ranging targets. (To scroll the article, use the up/down arrows located on the bottom left corner of the article.) Of particular note are the methods using topo maps and GPS systems, tools that many hunters and hikers use frequently.
FWIW,
