Why You Need a Smart Range Finder

"Smart rangefinders" are rangefinders that correctly account for all ballistic variables and deliver an accurate solution to the shooter. "Basic" rangefinders are units that either don't provide any ballistic correction or correct only for the angle of a shot by calculating horizontal distance.

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.

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

@ianminer2013 Ай бұрын

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

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

@@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.

@@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.

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

@dooyeedangriverhounds5282 5 ай бұрын

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 5 ай бұрын

False.

@brianfield9252 5 ай бұрын

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 5 ай бұрын

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 5 ай бұрын

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.
