[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2344694, member: 36473"] Ok so while the 11B/### etc High Speed Low Drag operators compare dick size. KISS, a LRF that corrects for angle is your simple friend and the batteries hardly ever run low. A spare CR123 lithium battery weighs .6 OZ's, big whoop. This year I put couple hundred shots down range verifying drops and range finder. My LRF turned out to be about 25 yards off so got a new one. What elevation you are at is an approximation, "Density Altitude" is more precise and it is calculted using Temperature, Barometric pressure (not corrected Baro like they use in aviation). Humidity also counts but not as much as the other two factors. Verify your MV, ballistic solver, LRF and practice at different ranges and shooting positions. Easiest to make a dope card up at location day before the hunt with your phones ballistic app using local temp, baro data from a kestrel device. Out in the field its 1) range 2) reference drop card 3) dial 4) get on rifle using practiced good form-squeeze-follow through. Have fun out there and for all the High Speed Low Drag guys, thanks for putting it on the line. [/QUOTE]
