    Kestrel 2500NV

    DA uses temperature and absolute pressure. Altitude doesn't matter. With a 2500 you'd set your reference altitude to zero. With the models that calc DA the reference altitude doesn't matter, it's just using absolute pressure for the calc.

    Kestrel 2500NV

    The 2500 won't do a Density Altitude calculation, but it will give you the data you need for a ballistic calculator like Ballistic AE (except humidity, but that doesn't matter much for shooting). It's more of a pain to have to enter things manually though. If you have the cash the 4500 is the...

    Hide on the range app for use with Chuck's IOTA

    Sorry folks, I haven't been on the site in a while and I've let this slide. The good news is that I've put the app back on the website for download and use (though the website itself still isn't up). The bad news is that the iOS version is dead, it's just too much of a hassle for me right now...

    Hide on the range app for use with Chuck's IOTA

    I was working on some things but I got a bit sidetracked. I'll try to get the site updated in the near future.

    I had pretty much given up but pressed checkout one last time before going to bed... and it worked! Didn't see any .22LR in stock shotshells and the like though.

    shooters software/ apps

    I was thinking of writing an app that was more range card-ish than what's out there. But it's hard to beat paper!

    rear bag or mono pod ???

    Re: rear bag or mono pod ??? I use both, together. The monopod lets me use a smaller bag. Pod for gross adjustments, bag for quick fine adjustments.

    Which to focus/concentrate on .........

    Re: Which to focus/concentrate on ......... Reticle/front sight. SS said it all. I tend to focus so hard on it that I don't blink when the round goes off.

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    Re: Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want.. If you've got your units set to .1 mRad then the HUD shows you how many of those you'll need, so that's 4.3 mil. If you want the HUD to just show 4.3, set your units to whole mRad. At least I think that's what's going on in your case.

    Hog Saddle Question

    Re: Hog Saddle Question The ball heads that come with those tripods are a little weak (11 lbs?), so if you have a heavy rifle and want to clamp it in place at anything other than its center of gravity (or thereabouts), it's going to droop a little when you aren't supporting it. Which can be...

    Advanced Marksmanship Density Altitude calculation......

    Re: Density Altitude calculation...... DA is pressure, temperature, and humidity. You can calculate it (or use a 4000 or an iphone to do it) but it's complicated. You'll probably want to just make up a look up table. See: http://www.arcanamavens.com/LBSFiles/Shooting/Downloads/DA/ and...

    Head to the stock or stock to the head?

    Re: Head to the stock or stock to the head? There are many different shooting disciplines with different ideals. I was confused by some stuff that was said initially until I placed it in a context. Some people only shoot in a certain way and make statements that don't apply to other...
