There may be times one can't get "still" enough to hold back center of where you where aiming and dial to impact. If in awkward position it's a task to stay or (most likely) get back in the gun in time to see the impact. Much less set rifle in a set of sticks in the sitting position & stay still enough with one hand to dial with the other...


Works great on the bench though.

So without "thinking about them that way", how do you describe it to a shooter that doesn't know? Sounds like your doing it without thinking about it. But to describe it to someone who obviously has little to no knowledge of doping line of sight, "just do" it doesn't help much.

If one takes the time to understand the physics behind the system, they want get all messed up when they think about them. A calculator does a great job with crunching numbers. But knowing how to multiply, divide & estimate the number in your head would save your ass when something goes wrong/batteries go dead.

Not trying get in a back & forth with either. Just say'n, there's more than one way to skin a cat, especially when there are different cats & different knives. And why there are so many different preferences, opinions & choices.
