[QUOTE="karin, post: 42441, member: 59"] I am the creator of the Long Range Shooting Simulation CD. I want to thank Ian for his unsolicited review of the CD. I am puzzled by the second comment concerning the low estimate for the ranging. Since the focus of the simulation is mil dot ranging I spent countless hours calculating and perfecting the size of the targets. They are within a tenth of a percent of accuracy in size which is probably not even discernable on a computer. The whole thing would be of no value if the mil dot ranging estimates were incorrect. Since the CD came out a year ago it has gone through hundreds of reviews and except for a few minor corrections that were made last summer I haven't had any comments that the range estimations were consistently low. I receive a dozen emails a week with interesting ideas and comments that are usually positive. I read and answer them all. Until yesterday I have not received any comment about consistently low ranging estimates. There are several possibilites for this if it is happening. The demos on the web may be affected by browser settings, although I would expect it to be proportional. The range card value for the elevation are rounded off to the nearest quarter minute. This isn't stated on the demo version and may be confusing some people. Otherwise, I cannot explain why some people would have this problem. The simulation has received a huge amount of support from the President of Black Hills Ammunition (Jeff Hoffman) who has gone through it with a fine tooth comb and did not get the result of low ranging. In fact, he found it to be exactly right on. If this comment is applied to the CD, be sure to look at the atmospheric conditions for each level. Except for Range 1 (the demo range) the ranges have an extreme of at least one atmospheric condition. This will affect the final point of impact. I welcome emails with details if you are finding a consistent reading so I can try to see what might be happening and solve it.
