I have heard of instances of a shot being presented in open country where the hunter has carefully ranged the animal, dialed up the scope from it's 100 metre zero and settled his bipod only to find that the deer has wandered behind a tree never to be seen again. Some of these shots were well inside 300 metres and could have been taken with a rifle zeroed for 200 metres using a multipoint reticle to roughly estimate range. My days of hunting hard have slipped away so trips with a rifle are largely therapeutic so simple systems suit me best. As always your wants, needs and results likely differ. All the best.
