This topic should really be stickied. I'm surprised at how often it comes up. I think I'm very happy I never feel the need to hike with a slide rule to hang properly.

Thanks all. Now that yo mention it, I think I have a level app in my iPod.
I understand that 30* is just guidelines but I didn't want to start at 40* and not realize it.
Thanks again to all!
Hopefully I'll get to hang Friday night.
Here's a pic I took a while back.

Thanks. I sure misunderstood. I had it in my head that I used the space between my thumb & finger as a sight picture from standing away from it. It makes more sense now.
And that kids is what too much overtime leads to......... No freakin' comprehension skills.
Thanks, everyone. This is a particularly helpful thread. I had cut an old credit card on a 30* angle and had used that, but this is just so much easier. I checked using a protractor and my "gun" is just about exactly 30*.
[Now I guess I'll be reading jokes about my "gun" ;)]
