[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 509413, member: 21068"] The angle feature seems to work good, but it doesn't compensate or change the distance because of the angle. It simply tells you the angle (relative to horizontal) to the intended target. So it does about the same thing as an angle indicator mounted on a riflescope or bow. The ballistic drop feature is designed for rifles, and assumes a 100 or 200 yd zero. It is designed to work out to about 500 yds. It will tell you how many minutes to dial or hold based on the distance you just ranged and the pre-determined ballistic curve you've picked out. It won't give a solution much beyond 500 yds. I usually have the drops/drifts to 500 memorized for whatever rifle I am shooting at the time, so I don't find this feature very useful personally. I just leave it turned off. The main reason I bought the 1600 was because my 1200 would only go about 700 yds [U]max[/U] on antelope and 800 yds on deer. I wanted the ability to range game a little further, and prarie dogs at least to 600. So far the 1600 seems to do what I bought it for. I've actually had two of the 1600's, first one didn't work right and I sent it back, but Leica was very good about getting me a brand new replacement within a couple of weeks. [/QUOTE]
