    It sounds like he is using a kestrel 5700.
    If that's the case they have applied ballistics custom drag curves.
    They aren't wrong end of story.
    To me, the culprit is the 1.3 high at 100 for a 200 yero
    Actually zero at 100 and try your data out from that.
    I have seen most things in my time.
    Just had one the other day with the guy having problems.
    Have you zeroed?
    Yep, shows me a tiny 3 shot group through the dot.
    I went and validated and it was coming up at a lower speed than I though it should be.
    Rang me to say way low at 350.
    Fucked if I know,recheck the zero.
    Guess what, zero out, fixed that and bang on out to a km and back
