Hi all,

I have been playing around with the JBM Ballistics calculator and was working on making some different cards for varying temps and elevations. I was curious what some of the smart guys are using for their humidity setting when using the calculator. I know that a real time reading is best, but I am just gaming some cards for reference. I have been leaving it at 0%. I am just curious if you all think that it would be more accurate to use an average humidity for the area that I might be using the rifle in? Thanks in advance.
 
Just put the Humidity to 50% and call it good. If you know your area's average, you can do that, (here we are usually around 30%) you can do that too.

But humidity is really a non-issue, setting it in the middle is fine. Won't change your shot solution at all.
 
Roger that. I knew that we never paid much attention to it, but it is a variable. I figured that as long as I was messing with it I would try to feed it as smartly as I can. Thank you.
