When a bullet leaves the muzzle of your rifle it is going UP not in a straight line, so the bullet crosses the line of sight TWICE in its TRAJECTORY to the target. Crooked cross hairs will hit the bulls eye at whatever range the rifle is sighted in for but at any other distance the bullet will either fly left or right depending on the cant.

Guys like Tubbs are shooting at KNOW distances so they can cant their rifles and still be on target. Silhouette shooters do it all the time.
This expalins it about as clear as possible.
