[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1986425, member: 61747"] This is not accurate or true. Snipers use the latest gadgets and they do train in case of gadget failure but lives are the line. Shooting a range isn't a place where gadgets are overly needed or desired. A data book or even data in your head is enough to bang steel from a bench. There is very little people have in common with snipers so let's move past the bs or comparing a general long range hunter/shooter from a military sniper TEAM. Since the beginning of long range data recording has been the norm. Data books recording all the intel you needed to place shots within relatively decent accuracy. It was developed using a fairly narrow base of cartridges and shared the same spec rifle to rifle. Today your data is at your finger tips and extremely accurate IF you know how to use it. You can pull a 223 to a 338 out of the truck and dial in shots with excellent accuracy. Enter the field environment of unknown situations, ranges, wind flow, barometric pressure changes, slopes, and unknow target sizes you have a need for accurate data. Top shooters all over the world use gadgets to get data. Temp, wind speed, barometric pressure or DA, drop data. Does that mean they'd be "f*cked" if their gadgets failed....no it does not. It means they use the best tech they can to make accurate shots first. Second, if they needed to use drop charts etc or dope book, they can. You'd be surprised how many people on this site can get by just fine in the event of electronic gadget failure. Don't assume they are not trained, practiced, or capable just because they prefer the most advanced tech available. [/QUOTE]
