[QUOTE="Jaredk03, post: 1606698, member: 100527"] If you will be shooting at angles, consider this: I bought the 2000b intially and after using it in the EHR mode (equivalent horizontal range) for angle compensated range, I found out it was taking the atmospheric pressure and temperature into account for the range. It does this as it references ballistic curves at a standard atmospheric pressure and temperature. So to use it properly, you need to zero at these conditions and then find the curve that is closest to your load. Way too confusing and imprecise at longer ranges. I didn’t really trust it for giving me the correct yardage based on angle. So I returned it and bought the 2400r and it is simpler as it uses the angle in the calculation only. The advantage here is it reads out first the line of sight distance, which would be used to compensate for wind, and then the equivalent horizontal distance which would be used for the drop. If you use a dope card setup for your hunting area with yardage, drop and windage you can easily have everything you need. Or pair it with an app and Kestrel to have more precise data. And the 2400r will range a little further than the 2000b. On trees I got over 2100 vs 1950 yds so both range awesome. [/QUOTE]
