[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1380212, member: 96226"] That's the whole reason I got into ballistics. Printed tables are part of the PACE concept. Primary, Auxillary, Contingency, Emergency. Primary is your app. When that dies you go to aux, printed tables with detailed data for a whole span of conditions, contingency is the little quick dope table good for maybe 500yrds inside your scope cap. emergency is that you should have memorized your gross drops at 100yrd/m intervals before going into the field. Check out ballisticxlr.com. I make printed tables on nearly indestructible media. Waterproof, not just resistant. This seems like you're using the wrong thing. Digital apps are great when you have the time to set up like before a match. In the field, trying to rely on gadgets is IMHO just asking for a missed opportunity. Ranging alone is going to take more time than most shot opportunities allow for. Get thee a printed table, learn to bracket ranges with your reticle on your target species so that ranging is done instinctively. I would only have to see a deer in my optic to get a useful range for it at any range I might really engage at. Basically, train for what you're doing. Find those things that fail and stop doing them don't just change to a different brand of the same bloody thing. Ballisticxlr.com, download for free. Support is free. Never been wrong yet metric or SAE. If you're getting things wrong by using metric you're not using your ballistics calculator correctly. Simple as that. If you want help, contact the support line for your calculator. If it doesn't come with support, you should change products to one that does. [/QUOTE]
