[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1464225, member: 54178"] I agree that practice and good record keeping are very important for a successful hunt. But... BallisticsGuy is keerect, [I]good[/I] ballistics calculators are amazingly accurate, especially the Kestrel/AB (Applied Ballistics) 5700 Elite. You absolutely cannot accurately "guestimate" all the factors that affect your bullet's flight. you can come "kinda close" but you ain't playing horseshoes and wounding an animal isn't ethical. This Kestrel/AB 5700 Elite calculator, along with a good laser rangefinder will give you EVERYTHING you need to properly calculate your point of aim. SOME OF THE KESTREL 5700's sensors: 1. temperature 2. barometric pressure 3. altitude 4. internal compass 5. coriolis effect calculator (for extremely long shots) 6. humidity 7. FFP wind speed Input your averaged range and [I]if[/I] you loaded the correct rifle/cartridge ballistics you will get a very exact Point Of Impact. The next best choice is the Leica B 3000 laser rangefinder binoculars loaded with your rifle's exact ballistics on its Micro SD card. You still need wind speed that can be had from your cell phone with a wind speed impeller and the related app. This is because the Leica also has many sensors that give you most of the environmental factors affecting your ballistics.
