[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 162549, member: 1522"] Eaglet, I'll be curious to see the results you'll get. I thought about joining the group buy but decided to wait as I currently have too many ballistic programs and all but one goes unused. I also have Dr. Pejsa program which is what your program is based off of. The new Patagonia Ballistics LoadBase 2.0 has a bunch more features My only recommendation when getting your ****** coefficient (Dr Pejsa term) or drag coefficient is to measure the distances very accurately. Don’t use a laser range finder as they aren’t accurate enough for what you want to do. I use a surveyor wheel I purchased at Home Depot for about $50.00. I tested it at the new high school football field which just laid the new artificial turf. My wheel rolled the 100 yards in 100 yards and 6” consistently. Also, it’s very easy to shoot through a chronograph at 100, 200 and even 300 yards. The more data and especially accurate data you have the more accurate your results will be. Like most things in life garbage in will be garbage out so try to be as accurate as you can. Once your up and running and you’ve got a good feel for the program let me know. I’d like to shoot you some data to run through it to see how accurately it matches my actual shooting data. Best of luck and enjoy the new program [/QUOTE]
