Why You Need a Smart Range Finder

[@RichardWolf-r7f]

So much to learn, so little time. Great explanation. Thanks

[@Malfin3]

This dude is a great shot!

[@AlecLCochran]

Very well explained. Thank you!

[@richardt.4224]

That was very good, as it explained the problem of steep elevation shooting SIMPLY...........THANKS

[@fattigla]

Excellent info. Also good wind call in what looks like a stout wind

[@LilYeshua]

Thanks. You explained it in the first minute

[@ГогоГого-э3ю]

Все объяснил за менее чем минути ....

[@dominicemole6546]

Thanks. Only explanation I have found on why angle adjusted rangefinders do not give correct adjustments as distance increases. It helps to understand the why. Looks like I will have to invest in a more expensive rangefinder. Is there another way to get the angle of shot and plug it in to my ballistic solver that would be practical to use? Your explanation made me subscribe to your channel. Thanks, again.

If you have a half decent phone and a good ballistics app it can measure and calculate it.

[@AwlDeigh]

Well done, should have paid more attention to Trigonometry class

[@TobyLaVigne-u3b]

Well done Bri!

[@TommyMacTube]

and this is why I deep dive KZbin. thank you for informing me.

[@damronsportsandoutdoors1098]

What would be the math equation to figure and calculate adjustment for this?

[@ianminer2013]

Cosine of the angle x the dope for that range. You can download a cosine chart from the Internet.

Nice vid I love the scope

[@esther12q]

Great video, thanks!

[@dustydusty8660]

Ricky Bobby didn't know what to do with his hands either.

How much does a course cost?

[@jamesodonnell2953]

What rifle is this

[@pt_atx]

Excellent!

[@L.V-Rider]

There are free phone apps doing the same calculation.

[@carlosalessandrini117]

good luck

[@L.V-Rider]

@@carlosalessandrini117 Why good luck? It is used a lot. Buy a reasonable priced rangefinder, punch in the distance in the ballistic calculator, use the phone camera together with the app and it instantly give the angel, holdover and turret adjustment, whichever you choose to use, dial the scope and shoot. It never fails.

[@L.V-Rider]

@@carlosalessandrini117 Why "good luck? It is easy. Get your distance with a reasonable priced rangefinder of which most have a inclinometer in as well, small and light. Then enter into the app. Or use the inclinometer in the app to measure the angle. It gives you the hold-over or hold-under as required. No magic, no costly items. As easy as that.

[@L.V-Rider]

@@carlosalessandrini117 Why "good luck" ? I use it and it works.

Or just use Pythagoras's Thrum. A Squared X B Squared = C Squared. A2 X B2 = C2..

[@brianfield9252]

my Kestrel and my mil dot master are IRREPLACEABLE!!!!!

[@hunterkhan8433]

V good

[@ratcamaro]

Only $1,300 for the rangefinder.

[@leehrvyoswld]

This did not work on my wife. Impact 4000 arrives tomorrow.

[@michaelmoffit1423]

Uphill shots effectively increase drag ( lowers apparent BC). Downhill shots effectively reduce drag ( raises apparent BC).

[@dooyeedangriverhounds5282]

I thought you treat uphill and downhill shots the same. Bullet doesn’t know if it’s shooting up or down. It’s effected by drag the same weather shot up or down hill is it not? The thing that changes is the distance to the target with an angled shot? Not commenting for an argument, rather just genuinely curious.

[@acerifles7083]

False.

[@brianfield9252]

yeah this isn't true at all. you saying that the BC changes when fired uphill or downhill would mean the velocity of the bullet changes, and that's just plain wrong. You do treat uphill and downhill shots essentially the same, they will both hit high... the only thing that changes is the path and unless your angles are drastic, and at long range, the bullet is affected minimally. drastic angles, over long distance must be accounted for.

[@michaelmoffit1423]

Wrong. Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on the bullet. When shooting up hill gravity is resisting the motion of the bullet along its path. When shooting downhill gravity is acting with the direction of motion. Take it to the extreme and shoot perfectly vertical towards the sky and measure the distance the bullet travels before velocity goes to zero. Now shoot straight down and measure the distance where the velocity goes to zero.

[@aarondavidson2156]

This is correct. Many "ballistic rangefinders" don't account for this because the amount of variance is relatively small. However, at longer distances, its necessary.

Necesito ese telmemetro inteligente de esa última generación. Porque si llegase estar en mi mira no corras, simplemente you will die tired. 🫡
