[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 565236, member: 2011"] Respected members are posting on this thread. Am I , a guy who has developed drop charts from excel and personally collected field data only recently had a hand-held tool w/ballistic software,hearing that I've done good all along? As SBruce said "Interesting subject, tons of variables." I use JBM to get a 'start'. Then shoot a bunch of distances to gather data. Then do the excel thing adjusting or eliminating data where shots @ ranges is inconsistent with other data. (it happens . . . more often than one would think.:rolleyes: Who would think that 3 shots in a nice tight group at 730 yds would be so far off the trend of POIs @ other distances) I installed a popular ballistics software on the iPod and was so frustrated with it I never got it off the ground. All I wanted was something specific to "my load" instead of tons of superfluous amount of resources for every manufacturer's bullet offerings. I'm a KISS kind of fella. I keep my atmospheric data simplified by having only one weather station. What it says, I use. Recording each shot for future study to program the 'puter between the ears. Hey, I have one rig spot on drop charted w/varying atmosphere out to 1177 yds at my favorite ambush hide. A handheld ballistic program for the iPod should make it good for "any" ambush spot.:) I would hope!! [/QUOTE]
