[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 1636, member: 25"] No doubt you will really enjoy your new toy - they are just plain accurate and reliable. Make sure the little switches are thrown to match your screen spacing and try to get the screens as close to parallel to your bullet path as possible. I would also suggest that you make up some data sheets to keep in a ringbinder or something (similar to your computer program that I'm sure you will use). Good idea to run the paper up a bit each test run so you have room to make notes right on the printout paper. The little pieces of printer paper can really accumulate so you are best to transfer the info to a field record book. You might have all this figured out, just thought I would offer some advice as I use 35p's a lot, had three of them going last summer. I have large heavy plastic toolboxes for each unit. In each box is foam padding and the following: .. cheap tape-measure .. small magnetic bubble level 6" long .. pair of pliers .. spare pens and batteries .. Oehler instruction book .. data sheets .. spare bolts for tightening skyscreens in place .. spare diffusers, skyscreen bodies, nutwrench plus one spare skyscreen and cable .. elastic bands/tape for field repairs You will quickly learn what light works best and how close you should keep each shot. Don't be afraid to leave the diffusers off in cloudy weather, no need for them. When your scope view fills with black and yellow streaks you hit a little low... Have fun and good luck. ian [/QUOTE]
