    If i dial to 700, why not dial to 300 and put it exactly where i centre the cross hairs ? Sure, takes a lil more time. But to me, it's more precise.

    He's old school mate, would probably get his long hair caught on a turret if he even knew where to find it

    because if you KNOW its 300 and you KNOW your bullet will be 2" low..the placement of Xhair is academic.... and it will save you time...and the relevance to this thread/situation....it would be one less thing that could be reason you missed by either 10" low or 10" high asuming deer had 20" chest...
    but to each thier own.

    Im asuming you were aiming chest/centre shoulder when you missed 3 times????? thats a big error ...caused by "something" if you can narrow down the "somethings" it might make life more simple.......Im a simple fella and like things to be simple LOL.point and shoot.
