I once tried shooting downwards, about 45deg., in an incline at a target. Somehow I could never hit where I wanted to. Then I met a friend who is an engineer,as also a member here, and explained to him my predicament. Simple, he says 'its the cosine'. So he explained the funda and I tried it out. It worked! Now I don't quite remember the mathematical formula, as I almost plugged my maths in school, and never had a liking for numbers unless they were the monetary kind 
, but I got the gist of figuring trajectory in a downward incline. Its quite similar to shooting into water when your target is underwater. The prism effect, in reality.

You can also buy ballistic calculator or even scope with integrated ballistic calculator.

OUCH! My head hurts too!
I do not know if this would ever have an effect with high powered rifled though, other than for benchrest accuracy or long range hunting in the mountains.
Where it does make a difference here in North America is when bow hunting from a tree stand. In fact, there are special tree stand sights that operate on a pendulum principle.
Here is a pic of a sight with the aiming pin "unlocked":
you can also lock the pins on these sights so they work normally, but hopefully this will help a person better visualize the geometry of what happens when firing on an angle, much better than a couple pages of figures can!
