His website says the "introductory price" is good thru July 31st. I don't know what it will be after that. Probably still be a bargain for what it will do.
Exciting times.
$2485 through July 31.
But here's a question. Suppose I wanted to calculate trajectory at 500 or 600 yards but only had a 200 or 300 yard range. Would the '89 be accurate enough to let a shooter estimate POI reasonably well at 500 or 600 yards?
Measuring short to predict long is not a good idea. The best advice would be to measure the BC at the longest range you expect to need to shoot.
On the other hand, using it at 300 yards (or even 200) to check the consistency of multiple loads would give valuable data. Many shooters will compare 3 or 4 loads for velocity SD. The '89 will let you do that AND BC SD, at the same time.
Yes, the BC changes shot-to-shot, just like velocity. Sometimes, the BC variation will cause more error at long range than the velocity variation.
Many have not known/understood this because they've never been able to measure it.
