[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 108904, member: 319"] [ QUOTE ] If you live at say sea level and your bdc is calculated for this alltitude and you book a Deer hunt in another state and the elevation of your hunt is 7500 feet,the difference in correction will be considerable....How do you account for this difference with a bdc? [/ QUOTE ] You print a new one. Man, you guys are all over Buffalobob's case like you didn't read what he said. Of course it isn't as accurate as carrying a computer with you in the field--which you ought to for extreme ranges--and nobody has ever said that it was. But unless you are carrying a computer with you, there's zero difference in accuracy between a BDC and a pre-made drop chart you tape to your stock. They contain exactly the same information. I wouldn't use a pre-made drop chart for 1500 yd shots from a bench with a 60lb gun either...but not everybody here is doing that. [/QUOTE]
