[QUOTE="JackinSD, post: 622550, member: 40641"] If you don't do all the work to create a ballistic profile they are a waste. However, if you gain the knowledge need and do all the work, they will work well for that particular profile. To give an example: At 3300 ft elevation and 60 degress you might have a drop of 40.6" at 500 yds At 6000 ft and 38 degrees, all other factors the same, drop of 37.4" at 500 yds Not a huge difference, but could be enough to make you miss. Add wind drift (10mph): 3300 and 60: 21.1" 6000ft and 38: 16.8" Still not a huge difference, but once again it could be enough to create a miss. Take that out beyond 500 yds and you are definitely going to miss. at 800 yds: 3300 and 60: 168.7" drop and 62.7" of movement 6000 and 38: 146.2" drop and 48.4" of movement The only way to get a multitude of hunting environments covered it to have multiple turrents. The closer the turrent matches your shooting environment the closer they will work. Basically, you need to purchase multiple turrents to cover multiple hunting environments. [/QUOTE]
