[QUOTE="Broz, post: 685365, member: 7503"] The fear of equipment failure is not that big of a deal for me. I have never had it happn to me but take these precautions. I carry a basic drop chart to 700 yards for a middle of the road temp and altitude in the pack. In the truck or at camp I have spares for everything. Plus my son or hunting partnersuse the same or similar equipment too. If needed I could have my rifle / load data in their computer in a few minutes. If everything goes to pot, I simply hunt like I did for years before I started long range and I have memorized dial ups to 500 yards. So I don't really see failing equpment as a big deal or a long term problem. As for spin drift, I leave it on all the time in my shooter program. So it is part of all the correction I get. But if you want to simply remember below 700 yards don't worry about it and at 1000 dial 1/2 moa left this will cover most rifles as close as we can shoot. Jeff [/QUOTE]
