Dumb question?

[Ucsdryder]

I have a feeling this might be a doh moment but if my rifle is zerod at 100 yards at 5k feet, what's the easiest way (without shooting it) to see how much higher it'll hit at 11000 feet? All ballistic apps assume your zero is 100 yards.



Maybe a better question….is it even enough to matter?

AB lets me input zero distance. Change your zero in the app to 200 yards, and run the calc at two different density altitudes maybe?

Just change the environmentals in you ballistic ap. The zero at 100 won't change but that is enough of a change in air density to see a difference down range.

Ballistic AE allows you to enter conditions at seeking and conditions where you are (different atmospheric pressure)
But all hunters will recommend to actually shoot it
