[QUOTE="Loner, post: 568428, member: 24560"] And I think it bares repeating, all the electronics we carry are all subject to loss, breakage and failure. Take written manual backups in the field. For years we've taped drop charts to our stocks, now they put them inside the scope flip ups. Up here you can about count on cold nasty weather screwing up your range finder at least once in a season. No point in having a nice mil or moa ranging reticle and not know how to use it because you laid down on your iphone and cracked it to make the shot. I like smoa for the simplicity of doing the math in my head. But I carry a game chart as well. My buddy just took a nice 6x6 bull at 500. He missed the first shot because he never had done the math on a trotting elk and lead. Fortunately the shot, 8 feet behind him, stopped him and down he went with the second shot. For us old guys remembering all this takes repeated drilling it in. That's what I'm doing now I guess. [/QUOTE]
