This has been a great thread. As a bush hunter it's helpful to hear how much I should be looking for because I can't usually see the deer getting shot at on YouTube. Blaze pink or blue for the...

Good write up and honest about the misses. You don't mention calibre but I'm picking 708, 308 or similar by the drop you mention. Zeroing at 2 and a half or 3 inches high at 100 should give you...
