Hi rhannah,
The short answer is absolutely. Reason being is in the fact the range finder knows nothing about the velocity ones weapons are shooting at. It simply knows the formula programed into it that automatically calculates distance based upon height and angle to a given target. This means the the ARC / TBR is the actual true distance you are shooting in all cases.

It's actually a great feature and extremely reliable, so use it well and good luck.

For crossbow applications you're right and I know that is what you meant. The wife's new Leupold Rx1000i can take into account what weapon you are shooting and can give you hold over or hold under at range for your specific caliber. It's a neat little program based on caliber selection.

 

Hi Clay,
There's no substitute for newer technology and some of the latest new products that now have the ability to match speed and/or caliber specific information are great. I was trying to keep it simple and straight forward, but I definitely appreciate the added information, since it better rounds out the knowledge in the answer chain.

I've also recently seen some of the newest high end rifle scopes that include not only these same features, but also contain computer chip technology that will turn a reticle green when the shooter is dead on target at distances of up to a 1/4 mile away. These same scopes have built in video recording that are capable of recording up to 15 minutes of footage of the shooters kill shot.

There are some wild new innovations on the horizon, but please notice I didn't say affordable. The scope that can perform these and other functions sells for almost $5,000. and is made by a single company out of Dallas, Texas.

Sorry guys, I was getting off topic and a little ahead of myself.

Regards,

Read the fine print about anything that now comes with any pc chips because many of them are RFD chipped too. Which means there are eyes tracking you.

I've found that with the TBR that angles really have to be acute for it to make a big difference...But with that said, if you are on the cusp of your shooting range then a couple of yards either way COULD make the difference between a hit or a miss..
