    @grandpamac I think sometimes we rush to overcomplicate things. For example.... I was watching an NZ hunting video on YT the other day and the young fellas were so busy dialling up that a deer that had been hanging around for a while buggered off. They were dialling for 200m.... I'm like "Really? You're dialling for 200m?".... But they messed around for so long they missed a sitter of a shot.

    Sometimes (unless you're into long range hunting) the old fashioned "2-3 inches high at 200m" (dependant on calibre) is still the best method for hunting at average shooting distances.... I'm not anti dial-up, just wondered why they had been so wrapped up in the dial-up phenomenon. Especially so since they probably zeroed at 100m, so just hold a couple of inches higher at 200....
