[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 869465, member: 54178"] The 1 Mile ARC binos do give angle compensated distance and either the MIL or MOA adjustment needed based on your cartridge and zero distance. You have to enter not only your cartridge class (A through G) but your zero distance. My zero distance is 200 yds. By pressing the MODE button on the left you page through to find you input page and scroll to enter cartridge class or zero distance. Fairly easy to do. But as I said in my original post you should range a paper target with the binos and shoot according to the bino recommendation for holdover or under to see just how close you [I]really [/I]are. This is because the 7 cartridge clasifications are merely ballpark ballistics, though very good "ballpark" . Even with the same ammo different rifles will have slightly different ballistics based on many variables such as barrel length/velocity, rate of twist, etc. And then of course ther are atmospherics such as air density. To get very precise targeting info one needs a [B]Kestrel-Horus 4500[/B] weather meter/ballistic calculator. This little item is beyond doubt the best item for long range shooting available. Yes it takes a bit of time, maybe two minutes, to set up but it can be done while a partner is glassing for you. This instrument takes into consideration a list of variables as long as your arm. If you are doing truly long range hunting beyond 400 yards it's only sportsman-like to be as ballistically precise as possible at extended ranges. Maybe Santa will give me one of these for Christmas.
