For ranging game I think the mils are best use as a backup plan or to confirm nothing is wrong with your LRF. I have had problems getting a good reading on flat ground and if a lazer is telling me 500 yards and I am seeing something other than close to .5mil I had better recheck something.

The other point that is being missed on using a mil is it is least accurate when you need it most. An error under 500yards can be survived but if your off 50 yards at 800 (which I think is incredibly easy to do in the field without an exact size of a target)it could easily be enough to screw up a drop or wind correction.


Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
