Range Report Density Altitude

[Jdaniel343]

I've been making up some range cards and got to thinking.
Is Density Altitude the only atmospheric condition I should really
worry about.
It seems temp, dew point, humidity, barometric pressure, elevation are all used to calc
denisty altitude.
If I know density altitude, is there really any other parameter other than wind, distance to target and
verticle angle to target?

If you are using cards, I would stick to just DA

if you are using a Ballistic Computer, then I would add in everything individually and not use any DA feature in the software.

By using a DA range card, it's a fast and accurate way to adjust with the atmospheric changes. But computers are much more robust so there, use it all.

Range, Wind, Environmental's, which can include Angle is all you really need.

I would record temp no matter what. Temp plays a role in internal ballistics also.
