[QUOTE="jmason, post: 289706, member: 10486"] Eaglet- I'm slow to comprehend and catch on so please forgive me for not reading this entire thread. Once " I get it" though, "I've got it". Hopefully my questions save others some aggravation when selecting software. As your answers were straight to the point.:) Thank You again!! Phorwath- I think anyone reading the last few pages will see what I find as short comings in Exbal. FFS and LB are similar (in my estimation) in the "field shot set up". FFS does not offer a "suite" of software in comparison to LB. That, along with what appears to be a clearly thought method of putting all valid shooting info in one place instead of three is what is selling me. It also seems to be asking (best I can tell anyway) for very good info in which to base future calcs on. I cannot say that I'm completely confident w/ Exbal based on what I've posted.
