[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1360952, member: 41338"] Everybody needs a back up plan. Stick your fist straight out at 90 degrees, so it's basically a level. Now rotate that fist down. For every "fist" you go down or up, that's 10 degrees. Not say'in you need to do this but before I go hunting, I go to JBM website and run a drop chart for the anticipated altitude I'll be hunting at with a print-out of every 10 degrees of angle. Angle of shot is pretty darn important, unless your hunting in your living room. Anyway, it may take a couple of seconds extra to find the right chart but you should be close if you, more or less got the altitude, temperature and angle correct for each chart. It's darn sure better that shooting 10 times and guessing what the heck is wrong with what your do'in. [/QUOTE]
