[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 939747, member: 30902"] I know Raton pretty well and grew up hunting Antelope just east of there near Capulin Mountain. The air is most certainly a good bit thinner when you get up at 7,500ft Plus vs the sub 1,200ft where over 2/3 of the human population of the planet resides LOL. A chrony is a nice piece of equipment if for no other reason than to measure extreme spread for a given load which can quickly help a guy eliminate one variable if he's trying to figure out why he can't get a good consistent tight group. They also give you a good starting point for working out your initial drop charts so again, helpful but not essential. Is it essential? No but they are helpful. Now for those guys who don't have access to long range shooting opportunities who are trying to get ready for long range hunts the equation changes and for them it's going to be even more helpful because they may not get a chance to verify their drops beyond 3-500yds before getting to where they are hunting.
