00:00:06.390 --> 00:00:08.130
an accurate range to your target is

3
00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:11.400
well very important this year we're evaluating

4
00:00:11.430 --> 00:00:14.220
laser range finders both handheld and binoculars

5
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.040
to find ballistics best in each category

6
00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:18.990
it was a handful trying to ring

7
00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:20.160
all the units and fire

8
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.330
and a place to test them all

9
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:23.010
but we got it done and the

10
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:24.780
results were pretty astonishing

11
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:44.100
i enlisted help from my friend chuck

12
00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:46.290
to figure out which is ballistics best

13
00:00:46.290 --> 00:00:50.370

14
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:53.400
shot and calculated and lay some more

15
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.860
to come up with the winners nearly

16
00:00:55.860 --> 00:00:57.210
all of the units have some sort

17
00:00:57.210 --> 00:00:59.910
of ballistic solution feature and it's basically

18
00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:01.200
become a must these days

19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.570

20
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.392

00:01:10.470 --> 00:01:12.870
shooting conditions went from simple to challenging

24
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:15.090
and really tested the rifle ammo combo

25
00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:17.880
target distance was four hundred and fifty

26
00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:20.100

27
00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:21.360

115
00:05:03.660 --> 00:05:06.240

sinking profiles of the device but once

124
00:05:21.420 --> 00:05:23.370
