steve_b_wales Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 My Hawke 600 has a SCAN mode that will measure a moving object, and displays the varying distances. I've only tried it at ground level with good results. It 'should' work when pointing up at birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 What you need is to measure distance, speed and be able to get a reading for drop and tell you the correct lead. And as far as i know there isn't anything that will do what you are after. Best spend on coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Ballistic computer will do all you need and offer a firing solution. Cost and getting hold of one might prove tricky. Have a search as this came up not long ago, I can remember stating i didn't think it was possible but others assured it was.
