I have the Ballistic and non-ballistic versions> I have one of each: B, R, and straight finder.. My take, stick to the non-ballistic. Less clutter, simpler usage and setting. I tape a range card to the side of every gun anyhow. I find having the ballistic solution in the Range finder is not helpful for hunting. Might be fine for LR target etc but for hunting the card is WAY faster. Get the true range from the finder, the angle setup is really useful if you hunt canyons, mountains or anything not perfectly flat. Use the range with the card, dial or use your hash marks and dope the wind. Kill the game .
