[QUOTE="Buano, post: 440456, member: 21641"] Matt I'm with you in that MOST shooters do not need to cary a ballistics program with them. Most hunters generally hunt in the same elevation year in & year out. If they hunt in only one area they don't need to factor in huge variables. Plus, most hunters consider 300 yards a LONG shot. But, when hunting coastal lowlands, the deep south, the midwest, the cold north & the Rockies in the same year as I did last year, being able to type in a few changes & see what will happen to my point of impact is useful IF my shots might exceed 300 yards. Last year such an ability would have made sense for me. Most don't need a ballistics program they can carry along. For them it's a neat idea that only means carrying one more piece of gear they don't need. For those of us hunting through many variables & pushing the envelope of range, it seems to make sense. For this reason I'm looking into it. I haven't bought anything yet, but with recommended programs for $40, it is at least economical. [/QUOTE]
