[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 42449, member: 3"] Ken I range objects with my laser or other method, I then consult a ballistics chart and fire round in practice. I record where the round strikes and adjust if necessary to adapt that shot series to match the distance I BELIEVE I'm shooting. Once I finish I have a set of charts for my rifle and the distance I measure/range with my range estimation devices. These charts are very close generally to the predicted data so I assume my range estimations are good/accurate. That's why I feel no real need to know the exact distance and only the need to have a repeatable range estimation process. I know the devices are repeatable because I often range the same object on different days and under different conditions. I also believe the lasers give very accurate distance measurements so as to make the point of arguing between lasered and hard measurements to the distances I shoot moot. In practical application on field type targets it's often very difficult to get an actual range to the intended target, quite often an object in the vicinity of the indended target is range. It essentially all becomes a matter of successive estimation and approximation anyway and that's where I believe field experience pays off. I'm not bound-up in the exactness of the measurement, I am just using a tool that helps me determine range to a target. This is not theoretical for me, I use these device and methods and it works.
