Amen. I believe most people aren't qualified to shoot that far at game anyway, much less with wind problems.

I'm very likely not as good of a shot as Mule Deer, but we were dumping game at those 4-500 yd distances way before hashes, dots, and dialing turrets became popular. Since the early '70's actually. With duplex reticles as MD described. Also did the 3" high at 100 thing....worked great too.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
