[QUOTE="Havingfun, post: 426275, member: 14228"] This has been a great string of information which naturally only promps more questions from my perspective. I sold a Leica 900 awaiting the 1600 for several reasons. I actually called Cabelas and asked about the ranging feature and was assured that the ranging mode could be switched from the ballistics calculator mode to the corrected distance mode but apparently, they didn't know what they were talking about. Setting that issue aside, I also sold a Kestrel 3500 weather meter because it didn't have the "density altitude" feature which I have found is essential for determining the effective altitude (actual altitude corrected by barametric pressure changes) which is what my ballistics are based on. If I am hearing the discussions correctly, the new 1600 will give me temp and pressure. Is this pressure figure all I need to plug into a ballistics program to give me the effective altitude or do I still need to know the actual altitude too? Please help. Thanks. Havingfun [/QUOTE]
