[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2136668, member: 115658"] I try to stick a target on a cardboard box having a rock inside it and laser measure back 300 yards or more & verify zero - [I]provided this can be done in general location of hunting area (I like that fouling shot). [/I]There are many other variables such as barometric pressure, humidity, & temperature that need to be considered but most often a 300 yard plus verification will help. After traveling 1,000's of miles best to not screw things up. Note that some ballistic programs require elevation input others barometric pressure but all of them appear to require temperature. Should it be wet, cool,& windy at 5000 feet plus and then if a high cold front moves in, the situation would change - this happens. [ATTACH alt="Screenshot (121).png"]257247[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
