you're going to the Nevada match at Battle Mountain? they should have a chrony there, at least they did when I went in'16Im using PP-Calc, so I get a new chrony number, take some meausrememnts at 3 distances 10, 45,55 yards and plug that into the program and itll calculate the new dope.But Im worrried about the thnner air doing weird things to my springer,,,,,, If I get to go
So you are using the standard turret that came with your scope?In other words, your DOPE sheet uses measurements like 1:6 and 2:3, etc? In MOA or MIL or whatever.Bob
Applies to any piston gun, not just 12fpe ...
Frankly springers change so much in this regard that doing actual "Johnny On The Spot" tests at the 6 five yard gaps may be a more productive practice for you

Don't you love when. You are worried about prep for shooting a Piston in a higher altitude and when you get there almost nothing changed?? I was worried as well, but luckily my numbers were the same there as they were at home. I couldn't believe it.I had about 30 minutes last night to shoot my 97 and the zero was right, close to 5/8" couldn't have been the right to left wind we were experiencing lol. Other than that everything else was on and accurate.

Other than that everything else was on and accurate.Cam, I was just thinking I should come back here and report, too, since I raised the question.I think the elevation in Horse Canyon was right about 5000 feet above sea level.My HW97 shot 790 fps on Lonnie's Chrony there. At home, my gun shoots 770 fps.So pretty much the same performance at 200 feet above sea level as 5000 feet when allowing for differences in the two Chrony setups. I shot the same DOPE.Go figure.

This is insane.Do you springer guys use a crank to start your vehicles?
