Thread: Trying to Wrap my head around it.

What Marty Henry said. If you are seeing deer within 200 metres then you dont need to know any of that stuff. Just sight your rifle in so it groups 2.5 - 3 inches high at 100 metres, and then shoot a deer from 5 metres out to 250 m aiming the same spot.

If you're still on your first deer, dont worry about techincals of a long range scope, instead study deer anatomy and where to shoot them.


I have attached this handy graphic you can print out and tape to your rifle stock instead of a drop sheet.

JD that is easily the funniest thing I have seen on here this year.
@SimpleHunter12 even though this is funny, it’s funny because it’s true. Inside of 250, all you have to do is aim directly. As long as you’re not using subsonics. If your sighted in 3” (75mm) high at 100, that aiming point will drop a deer regardless of if it’s at 25, 250 or somewhere in between.
