[QUOTE="jaybic, post: 1040492, member: 17055"] Thanks for the replies fellas, No, I did not check the zero once I got out to ND and probably should have. I have a Kestrel NV4500 w/Applied Ballistics and the dope I had written on my stock(gathered at home at 1200 feet elevation using the Kestrel, shot off a sturdy bench and proven on steel targets) was what I went off of so I was just floored when the coyote didn't tip over. I guess I knew elevation could make a difference but I didn't expect it to be very much. Is it reasonable on my next trip to bring a chronograph and a steel target and get some "North Dakota" dope or can the kestrel be made to take elevation changes into account? what is the best way to not have this happen again(I am bearing in mind that it could have simply been shooter error but the conditions and shooting position were about as good as a guy could have asked for and I have shot lots of coyotes so I don't really chalk it up to coyote fever.....I also have the Shooter APP on my phone, Strelok and Sierra infinity v7 if any of those may help.... anyway, thanks again for the insight fellas from a guy that used to believe that any coyote farther than 300 yards was a poke and hope deal.....
