[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1237209, member: 87243"] Fair enough, but apparently you were born with the deformity of having a "range bucket" attached to you at all times so you can carry large cumbersome tools in the hunting field with you lol Only joking, in all seriousness your angle indicator you made is a very good idea and a very clever creation, and I'm sure works well shooting at ranges or out practising, but the reason we suggested an app on your phone or using a ballistics app like shooter or A.B. is because of practicality, the MAJORITY of people do have their phone within reach 95% of the time, right or wrong it's just the way it is. And alot of people use their phones for their ballistic solutions anyway.
