[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1086340, member: 7999"] I use the Ballistic AE app in an ipod touch. It is the only thing I have on the ipod. I bought it just for the app. Makes me feel better that nothing can interfere with my shooting app. Anyway, I use the ipod to figure angle for up or down by getting my rifle locked in on the target and setting the ipod on the top turret of the scope pointing towards the target, it then figures the los angle and gives the correct dial ups. I think that guys get caught up in trying to find a faster way to calc the lrh hunting shot for fear of the animal getting away. For me if the animal is not relaxed enough for me to take the needed time to get everything set up, then there was not a good shot. It takes a fair amount of time to get set up, no way around it. We hunt as a team. One guy on the rifle the other making the calcs. That way all the shooter has to do is concentrate on the weapon and the target. The guy doing the calcs makes sure the shooter has the right dope. Doing that alone is difficult, and takes more time. Practice with your hunting buddy and as a team you can get fairly quick. Just remember if there is not enough time to set it up accurately, there isn't a good shot. my .02 Steve [/QUOTE]
