[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1998590, member: 42494"] Bait57, Yes, plugging the correct numbers in a ballistics app can be confusing. It's super easy to forget to change a parameter especially when you are stressed like you were. That's where practice pays off. As we used to say in the military, "you fight the way you train." Meaning if you always "safe/turn off" a system during training because of training safety restrictions, you'll do the same thing during combat when you actually need the system to be turned "on". Many soldiers have paid the price for that mistake. So, practice the way you expect to hunt, practice changing ballistic parameters, shooting positions, high heart rates, different temps to see if your rifle freezes/jams, ammo fires, etc. Although practicing in -40F isn't possible for most of us, but you get the point = practice correctly.
