[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 680221, member: 2011"] Do a search on this topic. Years ago Shawn Carlock, I think it was, lead a discussion. Buffalobob chimed in. The result as I recall was that multiplying the range by the cosine of the angle is an incorrect calculation. I worked it out on a spread sheet, back then, it was spot on. Can't recall the proper placement of the cosine in the equation.:rolleyes: I rely on "Shooter" at this point. Haven't missed much since switching to the software.:) [/QUOTE]
