[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 241196, member: 10379"] This works as long as you don't significantly change elevations. I sight in at 5000 ft but often hunt above 8000 ft. That 3000 ft elevation change gives a 14" difference in bullet drop at 1000 yards. You have to put some trust in your calculator and barometer. However, it is still important to practice at different distances and elevations to confirm that your ballistics calculator is accurate. [/QUOTE]
