[QUOTE="DocUSMCRetired, post: 1196526, member: 85458"] The kestrel reports true drop, not corrected for sight height. if you look at the print outs like JBM you will see it says 0 inches drop at 100 yards, when in fact the bullet has traveled and started to drop the moment it leaves the barrel. The drop is correct. You would have started with 1.76 inches drop at the barrel, hit -4.25 inches of drop at 100, at 500 yards -68.37 inches of actual drop with an elevation of -2.67 inches (this is for my current atmospherics, aerodynamic jump etc calculated in. Its way more complex than just adding numbers together. [/QUOTE]
