This is all very interesting but I'm confused. First, I can measure several of my guns and unless they have the same barrel length I wouldn't know if the "pitch" is the same or not from one to the next. Don't we need to go the next step and compute the actual angle using a little trig (sin of distance from wall divided by barrel length)?

Second, what do I do with this information? Is Pitch like the Length of Pull and I should know what is best for me and try to get all my guns to that measurement? Or, does it depend on what I'm hunting (shooting position)? Or is this to be left to the pro shooter and not for me?

I have listened to many discussions on LOP, cast, drop but this is my first time listening about pitch. I think I understand the computation methods but I don't know what one would do with this data? If I wanted to take pitch into account how do I know what is right for me?
