    This is an article I have saved on my PC which I read every now and again when I forget the basics ( more and more frequently).

    https://bisonballistics.com/articles...cs-calculators

    If you don't want to read the whole article just jump to the end to "Practical Takeaways".
    It lists the best inputs for your ballistic calculator.

    I go with the first option (Direct Measurement) and just use the Link function from my Kestrel 5500 to my phone running Shooter.
    Yep, no need to worry about altitude, the ballistic program does the calculated effects of that internally.

    However for printed drop charts ie not carrying a Kestrel or similar, I have no experience and will leave it to others who have.
