[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 215154, member: 3756"] You're right in that humidity is the one least important; meaning the one that will make the least changes and many folks just forget about it. But those who really shoot longer ranges will never ignore it. To begin with at 2000 yards, depending on your setup, humidity alone could make changes up to 8 to 10". These folks trying to hit a pdog at that range do want to concider that. At really extendes ranges things start adding up pretty fast. Humidity, rifle cant, coriolis effect, shot angle, etc. put them together and ignore them pretty soon you don't know if you're coming or going. Having a ballistic program that will take those things in considereation will help the extra-long range shooters to get first shot hits more frequently. I really like LB2.0 from Patagonia Ballistics, it will give you all those figures included into you're adjustment values if you want it so. Not only that, will compensate also for wind changes in the shot for up to 3 sections. In other words it will do multiple wind zones in the shot. Almost sound like a sales man... :) :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
