opti-logic has a new? range finder that will compute the angle cosine for you and tell you the angle cosine corrected yardage. i think they are around $400 for a 1000yd model.

i have the aci model from sniper tools for my 1000yd gun and it works well. the only thing i have to do is all the math in my head.
or carry a calculator in the field.

how did people like carlos hathcock and simo hayha ever get by? they didn't have half the equipment we do today. i think i know why. they were better shots.

whenever i go hunting nowadays i have 20 pounds of equipment to support my light weight gun. is something wrong here?

possibly the only thing your gizmo would require is a crosshair, that would make it more precise. maybe, huh?

p.s. glad to hear the rumor of your demise was only a rumor.
