[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2780039, member: 3230"] Well, perhaps they have installed an actual software app; the one I tested was their first Geovid model with a ballistic solution and was a while ago. You had to pick one of three profiles or you could build a custom one. IIRC, at the time it didn't compensate for angles correctly - it used the old "Rifleman's Rule" which is not great at LR. Your bullet will drop slightly more than the corresponding horizontal distance simply because the TOF is longer than it is over an equivalent range over perfectly flat terrain. [/QUOTE]
