As already mentioned Warn clothing is the most important advancement since 1980.
In the 80s I was hunting Miss & Al. and suffered a lot.

Before 1996 I had no/little open territory to hunt. From 96 On I’ve hunted cutovers &
regrowth c/os so the LRF has been a great asset to me. I range objects in the areas I hunt
before game is seen.

I always range from the deer back to where I was.
VERY few Xs I’ve had the opportunity to range a deer before shooting.
This past season was 1 exception. I had time to range a deer at 199 yds
before shooting. I was in strange territory and wasn’t sure of distance.

THEN & now I seldom could see deer much past 400 yds. So charts & dialing are no
advantage to me. However Fast, Flat, bullets allow me to shoot fairly quick (ly)
to 400 w/o ranging - read chart - dial - then aim.

I do understand BC and trajectory. I have so long a deer Season I don’t have to
hunt in Rain or Hi Wind. I’m glad.

All said, I get along nicely using my preferred C C billets with decent B C.

So warm clothing & LRFs are the best improvements to me.
