BigE Im sorry to say I missed that. I just looked at the Bushnell site and it appears that all of their Arc models give the true horizontal distance in bow mode but not rifle mode. I didnt give it much thought because I figured the corrected holdover feature would suffice for my needs.
Yes on paper the ballistics seem pretty close.
The on-line ballistic calculator at GSEVEN.com gives my 30-06 load (at 7,500 ft for Idaho) at 500 yards a drop of -40.6 " (sighted in at 200 yds). My Leupold B&C reticle shows a drop of -40.95" at 500yds. The GForce shows a drop of -43" at 500 yds. So all in all it seems pretty close.
Im still saving for a nightforce to put on my 7mm sendero. I suppose then I will also have to upgrade the rangefinder. : )
The more time I spend with the GForce the more I like it though. Mike
