Coyotes out to 150m with a .22WMR.
I'll be shooting in hilly country.
At 150m would there be enough angle to consider an angle cosine indicator?
Or is it just a waste of $150.
 
do some quick math and check your topo maps. If you have a 10 meter elevation difference over 150 meter run, your bullet is traveling just .33 meters less/more - is 1 foot difference in distance really worth worrying about for drop compensation? Can you even accurately guesstimate the 1 foot at 150 meters?
 
Thanks, that was the answer I was hoping to get.
Every once and awhile I just get the itch to part with my hard earned dollars...sometimes (like this) unnecessarily.
