About uk_exile
Biography:
I'm not british. Its a username only! I'm a kiwi, born here, lived here 29yrs then due to work moved to UK late 1990s. Returned to NZ 2003. It was while working in UK that I chose my online username for all online stuff and have kept it ever since. It's not because of any connections or loyalty to UK. Have never need back to UK since 2003 and hope I never need to except maybe as part of an european holiday sometime in future. Can't say I hated it but certainly disliked the lack of freedom & was just there for work.

    In that regard, I got in a Longshuo "1200yd" version solely for use with my PCP on rabbits. Cost about $110 landed all up. Turns out it's amazing value for money. I took it out the other day on a...

    I've got a slightly different way of looking at it. For me, deer don't tend to stand at convenient distances away, so range increments are arbitrary. I've set mine up per half MOA / 2 clicks, and...

    uk_exile sorry my bad, I didn't make that very clear... my scope is a Weaver Super Slam in 1/4moa with pop up turrets which I rate very highly (particularly as I've been hunting with guys who were...

    Run the calcs at 3000ft alt ... cos that's where I do most hunting & 1000ft either side seems to seem to make sfwa different to numbers. Most scopes are moa, 200 yd zero's so drop card has ranges in...

    Rangefinders with adaptive ballistic functions (varies with conditions) have nearly negated drop charts (fixed data), but always good to have a backup. I write what load/ammo I have zeroed the...

    I modify ballistics print-out and reduce size. Then I attach to rifle stock .156644 I use double sided rego labels and on top use cellophane sealed with wifeys fingernail polish.

    I usually do distance at 50 yard intervals, MOA value and clicks value. This will be a personal preference so your likely to get a million different opinions. I rarely use it though it's just...

    Generally speaking when shooting at distance you've got a bit of time but I never trust apps. I use 25yd increments from 100 (my zero) out to 600yds. Have a bigger Dope sheet that goes to 1000 in the...

    Madness wears a bright blue top and shoots more deer than half the forum here put together, a decent hunter could wear a pink tutu and still shoot deer.
