[QUOTE="joseph, post: 532335, member: 19151"] As an experiment when you get your program set up just for kicks just change the elevation and humidity for everything you say in your "quote" above. I think the differences you will find will only be a few inches which will keep you in the kill zone of the animal you will be hunting. The big difference comes in when you shoot up and down hill at big angles. I sighted in my rifle at about 800 feet in elevation dead on at 200 yds. Then when I got to North East Wyoming I checked it again at 4,500 feet at 200 yds. and it was less than 1/2" different with the temperature and humidity about the same in both Georgia & Wyoming. joseph PS: Why do you think that Huskemaw and others sell so many scopes that have a custom turret made for your drop chart?
