Hi there,
Does any one use this? If so is there any benefit to it?
I may not even understand what it does so correct me if I'm wrong.
So I zero my rifle and input all the conditions from that session (baro, temp etc.) against the projectile used. Then if zero atmosphere is enabled it will make corrections from my zero atmosphere data based on the new current atmosphere data?
Must be for Wellington ��
it's mainly used for when ya have much longer zeros like 500 or 600

I would expect this is correct. Say you zero'd on top of Mt Cook, it would mess everything else up wouldn't it at lesser altitude. Zero is you reference, so any change has to be with respect to a reference, not a random default value.Quote:

WRONG. Zero atmosphere is for when you are transferring through the matrix and have to shoot while momentarily suspended in a vacuum :D
Is there a reason for this Andy? I know it wont mean shit in close but just curious.Quote:

If you have zero atmosphere it would suggest that you are in space. Do not shoot! Would be worse than shooting in and aircraft.
But yes, I've done it with Strelock as it gives the base conditions for your data so that it can allow for variation for your actual shooting conditions.
Yip so its worth it then?Quote:

I would only use it if I was zeroing past 200 but use my kestrel out past 450 ish

ok yip i get that sort of
From my understanding the zero atmosphere should be irrelevant to the distance you zero at. It is the atmospheric condition you shot your zero at, regardless. Its a reference that all calculations will be based from. If you can enter it, why would you not.
Don't sweat it Gibo. Dozenmata
Yip which is what ive done, thats how i took it to be. Cheers JamesQuote:

I just put in a theoretic 900hpa 9degc 10% humidity vs 1200hpa 30degc 80% humidy and got 0.1 of an inch variation of result @ 200y so that is 0.05 of an inch(that is only 1.27mm or put another way even if you had 1/8th MOA clicks it is still less than half a click )variation at 100y zero range with a humongous atmospheric change so shes pretty safe to ignore it if zeroed at 200 or less.
Yeah i just played around out to 800 and no matter what i did the moa upies didnt move :D zeroed at 100 so not fussed if its on or off
Like I said in post 14 ............Quote:
