Yes, most go from about +93° down to about -11° (reads as 89°, so you have to be able to subtract from 99° 60' and call the answer negative) for depression shots, and distances off. I supose that makes it a 360/104/2 tant. That's close to a 1/7th tant. Is there a word for that, 'heptant' perhaps. I can't find anything on Google. DaveP
