[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1981227, member: 19988"] Ok I did a little homework on the Vortex HD 5,000. That range finder does not calculate for altitude or pressure. It will only calculate between a 15 - 30 degree slope out to 400 yards. And less than a 15 degree slope out to 800 yards. LOS is your line of sight mode and your HCD is your Horizontal Component Distance. It will not give you a correction for your HCD past 800 yards. So you will need a Kestrel Applied Ballistics or something like that to give you all the corrections. You are going to have to take a class to help you understand all this. I’m not one for saying it’s impossible or can’t be done but it would be very difficult to explain all this through a text// email. [/QUOTE]
