Depends on how you define accuracy... if you sight your firearm in at 85 degrees and it is now 32 degrees, then your bullet will probably not hit where the crosshairs are pointing. However, I would anticipate that your bullets should impact the target with the same grouping as normal, just in a different spot on the target. So grouping size should be roughly the same, just hitting in a different spot on the target.
