[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 62402, member: 11"] Yes I did turn on and of the desired output options. I like that part quite a bit. Several times I clicked on calculate and got some wierd HTML page but when I went back and changed a parameter or added a selectable out put (as at one point I only had MOA drops and windage) then tried again it would go through. What GOOD grouper seems to be talking about is changing the altitude in the program and then seeing an adjusted trajectory that does not retain the same zero distance. All the ballistics programs send the bullet through the same zero distance and overlay the trajectory to coincide. Example: I sight my gun in at sea level. I am shooting the center of the target at 100 yards. Then I drive into the mountains to shoot an elk at 820 yards. Because of the thinner air I can [b]no longer be zeroed at 100 yards.[/b] But where am I zeroed and what should my 820 yard come ups be at this new altitude? I dont have any place to sight my gun in again so what I need is a program that tells me how my trajectory elongated relative to the muzzle and not my 100 yard zero as this should have also changed. (This is what you are saying right Good grouper?) [/QUOTE]
