[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1298300, member: 8873"] As suggested, you need to get DOPE for all conditions you want to shoot in and keep it in a data book. You would be setting yourself up for failure trying to use some formula for drops in different conditions. The further the distance to target the more unpredictable your outcomes could be. Wind is a different thing. I think your best bet is to use a ballistic calculator to get your drops and verify everything (trueing if needed). Then print off multiple drop charts for environmental changes you could face. I do this before hitting the field. I too don't like to rely (not solely at least) on technology. If you do then I believe you are setting yourself up for failure. I still carry a map and compass despite having a gps, it's called redundancy...or a backup...or a PACE plan (Primary/Alternate/Contingency/Emergency), some things you need at least the first two.
