[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1058420, member: 10391"] Timber is right I think with his post above. It drove me nuts as to why I had to enter one of the ballistic setups to get the corrected yardage. Getting the corrected yardage number (EHR) is just a simple math thing if the angle is known. When thinking about it I concluded it was using the chosen ballistic data for something more in its calculations so I started checking the corrected yardage data and found it was not correct. I run Auto Cad for design work and started taking distant targets getting the line of sight yardage and the angle then would run those numbers in Auto Cad and get the corrected yardage number (EHR). I started comparing the real numbers from Auto Cad against what the 1600B was spitting out and found the range finders corrected yardage was incorrect every time using any of the ballistic settings. As to why I'm not sure and I think Timber is on to it so do not use the corrected yardage in this range finder. I have compared the 1600B line of sight yardage against two other range finders and they are very close or the same I range the target get the angle pressure and temp and enter those into Shooter. Works for me. [/QUOTE]
