[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 891837, member: 61747"] Last year a wolf hunter was talking to me about his drop charts and all confused about how he missed a 950 yard shot. He had 4 or 5 sheets. My mind went numb with his complicated methods. I think he got himself all sorts of confused. I would have spent some time trying to understand his issue but he was not a good listener. I truely believe in KISS. I have a little excel program I made up that I can fill in the blanks, print the page, cut it out, and I use packing tape to seal it up. I will do 2 charts and run them back to back so I have 2 solutions, front and back. This usually covers current hunting conditions several thousand feet elevation changes. If you have a range finder that calculates slope for a corrected distance then no cosigne math is required. The only unknown change would be coriolus. While out wolf hunting yesterday I took out my 6.5-384 and ranged a patch of snow on a rock at 836 yards. I dialed the solution based on shooter and sent a round at the golf ball sized patch. It was pretty small. I was about 1" high and 1" left. For a cold bore 1st round hit I am quite pleased. This is what I look for. So I then looked at my chart and verified if it was good to go. It was within .25 MOA. [/QUOTE]
