[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 330820, member: 7848"] It depends on what method you use to correct for the angle. If you use a ballistics program that accepts degrees as an input, naturally you want the device to measure degrees. However, if you're using range cards, the cosine is more convenient because you just multiply the drop by the cosine. Consider how you're going to use the 'look-angle' information, and that will tell you how you need it indicated. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
