[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2255557, member: 61747"] Never said they aren't necessary. He said something about 100's of cards blah blah blah. That's nuts. I also said I carry one. I have a 2 sided card that covers 4000 ft and 50f temp swing. People make it way harder than it is because they don't spend enough time playing with the data. For example, you will not see a wind chart on my dope card. I don't need it. I use a quick formula in my head that works extremely well, it's quick, and doesn't clutter my card. Others need a wind chart because they don't understand how their particular set up is effected by wind. Ballistic apps are the way we learn about our set ups. We confirm that data in the field. On another note, I have had device failures. Never a phone, but Sig kilo 2400's were a nightmare. Went through 4. The stupid thing would stop ranging past 400 and eventually would fail and stop working. Having that happen in the field for a long range hunter is not cool. All the dope charts in the world won't do sheet if your lrf fails you can't reticle range. Math sucks when you're stressed, ha ha [/QUOTE]
