[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 285659, member: 4191"] That approach can get the job done if you always hunt at the same elevation. If you hunt at sea level for moose, 2500' elevation for black bear, and 4000-6000' elevation for sheep, then the chart developed for the rifle will result in misses at long range at the other elevations. The advantage of well-tuned ballistics software is being able to modify the environmental conditions for other locations and be good to go, without having to create a new drop chart for the new set of environmental conditions (Atm Pressure, Temperature). Plus, the software provides options such as angle of fire, which is quite important while hunting in the mountains. Shoot at an angle of 20 degrees above or below horizontal @ 700 yds and you'll wound, or miss, if you use the same hold that worked on the level. [/QUOTE]
