[QUOTE="CAM, post: 329368, member: 330"] muleyman ACI vs Rangefinder????? One checks angle, one measures distance. I know your asking about a rangefinder to find angle yes there are some. There are lots of ways to find angles This best comes down to mechanical VS electronics You need to know distance, angle, conditions, and drop etc. The better the info the better the shot! If you worry about batteries or electronics then Range with mils or moa check angle with aci or angle finder and make charts to ponder If you want the best most accurate info Use a range finder, get angle anyway you like! ( its an angle not min. or sec.) get a weather station and a ballistic program! If you want the best of all worlds get it all its only money.....LOL If your like most of us find what works for you and build up from there, find what you need to make the shots you take. I have an aci and have taken it off my gun because I get the info from my rangefinder. But the aci worked I just know the angle is only good if the range is right, so if my range finder don't work and I'm "guessing" the range. (mil or moa reticle) I might as well guess the angle because I'm way better at that then the range! then go to the charts. Long story short I'd rather have spare batteries then guess. a 60 deg angle has a cos of .5, 45 deg is.70, 30 deg is .86, and 20 deg is .93 To shoot out to 800 you don't need much fancy stuff!!!! You will most likely never ever see a 60 deg angle out to much distance. I hunt Colo in the mountains! one ridge to the other 45 deg would be extreme. Good luck Cam [/QUOTE]
