[QUOTE="Snowrun, post: 1245368, member: 60048"] Using barometric pressure from the internet is worthless for shooting because they are corrected for sea level. If they didn't do this, higher elevations would continually look like a low pressure system. My local weather report will show 29-30inHg current readings when it is in fact closer to 26inHg(4000'). At 8000' it drops to around 22inHg. I Use the Leica 1600B as mentioned previously and also have a cheap timex watch that correlates pretty well with the Leica and isn't too shabby for elevation once you calibrate it. You'll also want to correct your shooter zero data if you have ~30inHg entered unless you're zeroed at sea level. [/QUOTE]
