[QUOTE="406ANGLER, post: 2858638, member: 126608"] Could be a typo or dude could be a wizard with a rifle, who are we to judge? Either way a kestrel makes things easier. I used to use the phone apps until I took a bad shot on a mule deer that was beyond the capability of the app, which I was naive to put faith in, and had to shoot several more times at a wounded animal. I felt pretty terrible afterwards and I spent the next year learning everything I could about external ballistics. I decided the kestrel was a necessary investment if I was going to keep shooting at those distances. The first thing I did was plug in all of the same shot info (elevation, temperature, velocity, BC, etc...) into the app I had used the year prior and the kestrel. The two yielded two vastly different solutions: the app said I had plenty of velocity and energy remaining, the kestrel did not. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
