Kind of tough to describe in the title, but my buddy and I were having a debate regarding shooting long range and using the angle comped distance a rangefinder gives you.
Is there any advantage or disadvantage by using only the corrected range your angle compensating RF gives you? Or for the utmost accuracy, is better to shoot the range non-compensated and add the angle of the shot in your ballistic app software,then go off that calculation.
So the scenario would be a target at 600 yards. The decline is 35 degrees. So even though it’s a 600 yard shot, your RF tells you shoot for 530 yards due to the decline. Let’s also say your gun is zeroed at 100 if that makes any difference.
Would there be any advantage or disadvantages to either way of going about it? Seems like it’s two ways to get to the same outcome, but we debated if there may be more of a factor for wind drift or other potential issues with either system.
Probably overthinking the whole thing, but figured I’d ask!
