Ronin Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Skany I have both the PC and Palm versions, they are very, very good. At the time I purchased there were few pocket pc's available for decent prices so I opted for a Palm - no regrets. Other than the different OS, I am sure that the pocket PC version is as good as the palm version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 308Panther Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Ronin,Colin What kinds of handhelds/PDA's are you using? Pros? Cons? 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Palm Tungsten T3 pros, light easy to use, screen large and can be dimmed in low light, internal battery good for about a days use. Con, in cold weather you need to keep it in an inside pocket to prevent battery premature failure. I'd buy the same again, when the time comes, no question, or opt for the more expensive ABC from Chey-Tac - which is bullet and waterproof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Google search Perry Systems in the states, the software comes on CD and is cheap at current xch rate. There are copy discs around but, I personally wouldn't recommend that route for obvious reasons. (copright breach, no warranty, no back up etc etc etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 308Panther Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Thanks Guys, I had heard about the 5.11 Watch too but the price was abit too steep for me,I also have a nasty habit of killing watches. If I can get one to last a day I am doing great,but thats what I get for being a wrench bender. http://www.perry-systems.com/index.html Ronin, The piece your using is more likely the route I will go once I get things goin again The ABC from Chey tac is a very neat tool....almost forgot about that one. 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 The CT ABC is possibly the best ballistic handheld ballistic computer you can get, it even allows for three wind inputs (at firing point, mid range and at target location) using a click and drag pointer. If you are really pushing the ranges you can account for the corrolis effect (spin of the earth) but I dont think anyone here will bother about that one as its beyond 1000 yards it has effect. I have a mate who has an ABC on long term test and it has not been without software problems, BUT, when it works (which is all the time now) its bang on 99% of the time. Wouldn't like to see how much one is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 308Panther Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I forgot too mention that is without the balistics program. The ABC is available only to Special People. So best available to me is the CABC,wich is on a Dell Axiom X30.But that might have changed too. The 5.11 watch, I see referances to the Horus Vision Reticles, The earlier version I seen was in Mils and MOA Trying to do everything I can to keep from carrying something like the m700. Last thing I want is a cell phone when I am hunting..... I like it when nobody can reach me. 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
