  • Confirm whether every target distance is in yards or meters before entering it.
  • Set the profile's angular output to match the optic and the language used in the match plan.
  • Know the turret's click value; an angular solution and a number of clicks are not the same thing.
  • Label handwritten, printed, and exported data with both distance and angular units.
  • When another person shares data, verify its units instead of inferring them from familiar-looking numbers.

If: The curve looks smooth but every correction is implausible.

Check target-distance and angular units before changing velocity, coefficient, or atmosphere. A unit mismatch can produce internally consistent but unusable rows.
