[QUOTE="Paul Wyatt, post: 58707, member: 2924"] I'm relatively new to this game, but have been reading posts daily for a month or so and have a question. There have been quite a few discussions about useing cosine indicators; the consensus being that the gages are good, but they lack sufficient detail in reading the cosine to be depended on for long range shots (extrapolation is necessary). If I am reading posts correctly, most shooters are using a PDA with a ballistics program to get corrected come ups/downs, and that the cost of the cosine gages is somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 - 100 dollars. My question is why not go with a digital incline instrument that reads the angle to the nearest .1 degree for $100 ([url]http://store.yahoo.com/ascscientific/smardigclin.html[/url]). A PDA is being used anyway and the cosine of the angle could easily be fugured using it. Give me some help before I do my typical thing and spend $100 only to find that what I did was bass-ackwards.
