[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1304188, member: 10291"] Having spent 40 years in the scientific/analytical instrument industry, I thoroughly enjoy threads like this one. My only thoughts on the recent posts concerning scientific credentials as a barometer for credibility, certainty, and ultimate market success in a given application, would be to excercise caution. The MIT guys are brilliant and have contributed significantly to advancing technology, but their innovations generally need to be adapted and tailored to the desired application. It's also safe to say that as many innovations and discoveries have come out of lesser credentialed practicians. Getting back to the original topic, for hunting applications, most of available algorithms seem to match and work fine out to the practical LRH limits. Whether you dial or use a reticle hold.....do what works for you. I'll have to agree with Bryan Litz that the challenge continues to be the management of the two indeterminates; "wind", and the "continuity of the specific cartridge" being fired. For LRH, these can easily trump any hair splitting over choice of algorithms IMO. [/QUOTE]
