[QUOTE="7070yshot, post: 2000305, member: 114427"] 1. you absolutely unequivocally need accurate velocity measurements. 2. you need other data as well if you are going to shoot past 500y with any accuracy or precision especially on animals. 3. gear needed, Labradar, or I’ll sell you my sporter, NiB 100$. Labradar is the best however, a Kestrel 5700 Elite or a Garmin 701 with external temp sensor. Why?Because you have to record date/time/temp/station pressure/humidity/latitude location/altitude/ density alt/ and DoF (direction of fire in degrees) These are absolutely critical to making those shots if not you’ll have a submoa group of misses or worse a wounded animal. It’s a journey my friend and not a cheap one. If “good enough” shows up in your thoughts then measure what good enough is. Missing a target poi estimation by 1in at a thousand yards is good enough, missing by 9in is not, IMHO [/QUOTE]
