[QUOTE="jimisbell, post: 1979262, member: 114969"] I have begun to gather my "kit" so I can begin LRS and ULRS. My scope is MilDot and the turret is 1/10 MOA. I was looking at rangefinders (ONLY RANGEFINDER, no bells and whistles) and they seem to be expensive so I assumed it was difficult. Wrong! Its a simple calculation. As I continued on I looked at the MilDot analog calculator for $30 and figured that was the way to go. But if that was the way to go then surely someone has written an APP for my smart phone. So I looked and found many. But not one will just do the calculation (target height in inches x 27.77)/(MilDots)=Yards. Every blessed one wants all sorts of input and most wont yield yards. I have a Lapua calculator to do all the other inpiuts and tell me how many clicks on the turret. I just want to calculate range from my reticle and none are designed to do that simple calculation. I can do the basic formula on my calculator faster than I can wade thru the APPs that are offered for my phone. Am I missing something??? [/QUOTE]
