[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 2214852, member: 101677"] Yes, I’ve shot in as low as -30 hunting coyotes, if I didn’t shoot in -20 I wouldn’t shoot for most of the winter. Not everyone lives in the mountains and sees huge elevation changes, which is why I initially stated, if ur hunting one elevation, a couple cards for different temps and you’ll be good to go. U came and said nah, it doesn’t change. On my coyotes gun, average temps I hunt in top to bottom, grabbing my range cards not even the extreme cold(where u won’t believe this but even Extreme line of powders will lose velocity) but on avg temps, at 700 yards there a 3/4 moa difference. At 1k it’s 2 moa. I actually want to hit my targets, so i account for all the variables, and I’m not always killing steel so the first shot counts. to the op, sorry for the weirdest argument I’ve had in awhile. If you don’t have many elevation changes, temp is easy to account for u prolly don’t need a kestrel, but if you climbing hills while hunting and the temp changes throughout the day, I’ve seen quite swing in bullet drops. Then you will know with a kestrel, u should be on while u puzzle the wind out [/QUOTE]
