[QUOTE="luke, post: 1010575, member: 15102"] This topic is a huge pet peeve for me. My dad and his cousin went shooting with me about a year or so ago and enjoyed banging steel at 900-1300 yards with my rifles. They both went out and bought guns for long range hunting. My dad built an edge and his cousin bought a lapua. I helped them work loads and got both guns shooting well at 200 yards. The cousin went out and bought a high end range finder sand bags and all the other gear. Since they both hunt together my dad didnt get a rangefinder to carry. Last hunting Season I get a phone call. They are watching a nice bull at just over 900 yards. They didnt have a way to calculate diall up. Neither of them got an app for their phones. I had put all their info in my app for when we went shooting. It was wrote down for them but they never got an app to put it in. The most accurate rifle in the world with the best scope on the planet are not worth anything if you dont know how to use it. No tags were filled by them last year. I will not talk them through dial up over the phone without actually being there to read the variables. [/QUOTE]
