[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1511998, member: 33822"] All the stars aligned for the cross-canyon Shot to give me relatively calm conditions. The biggest wildcard is the wind, not the shooting angle, as the hillside you are standing on is blocking the wind to some degree so you can’t determine full wind speed. For this shot I was on a rock outcropping that really pushed me out from the face of the hillside, and I had a perfect crosswind shooting directly across the canyon. I also was shooting to nearly the same elevation on the other side of the canyon. I was hoping for a closer shot that would have had a very steep downhill angle, and I would have just input the angle into my AB app. My logic is I carry a trajectory card with distances out to 800 yards. And I’ll only use it if the variables of the shot are all very similar to how I printed the card (flat shot, relatively similar absolute pressure, latitude, azimuth, etc). Once things get complicated, I always open up my AB app to input each variable. It’s slower, but if I don’t have the time to open the app and input the variables, then I shouldn’t be taking the shot anyways. [/QUOTE]
