[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1869036, member: 36473"] It's quick and easy to do dial ups. First, if planning to shoot long range then hunting with a partner I feel is imperative. Second the day before the hunt use your ballistic app with local conditions to make a drop card out to 500 yards. Next morning hunt with this drop card and if you spot game the shooter gets set up on the game and partner range finds and refers to drop card for dial up. If shot is longer than 500 than ballistic app in your phone should have updated conditions and your spotter needs only to LRF enter the yardage in APP then press "calculate" and he reads you dial ups. Also its not expensive because we all have phones and you must have a LRF otherwise how can you legitimately tell 650 yards fro 780 yards? The premium ballistic apps for your phone cost less than 20 rounds and a Kestrel Drop (a temp, humidity and local pressure source) that updates your phone automatically is a whopping $130, the price of a pair of boots. But its all just fantasy if its the least bit windy, if your shooting 1000 yards over several ridges/gullies near any hills and not telling what the winds and here you are just guessing. Your ballistic app should let you put in your best guess for total wind component and the direction and using current conditions and your verified and trued MV and bullets BC give you your wind hold off. When its all said and done if you are not putting at least 20 rounds down range in varied conditions to 700/800/900/1000 yards monthly and verifying your system then you aren't being realistic.
