Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Do many here use MILS?

I liked rcamuglia's response to my post better�


Who told you about the kazoo?

WIN

[/thread]

how many mils wide are those are 100 yards?? ah who needs mils 6" IPHY, thats what she said

sorry, I thought everyone knew how you got to be called 'poobah.'

I better start hanging out on this forum more often�.

Awesome sig line right there.

You're not gonna last here, new_2 is getting cranked up over on the NBTE

LOL!

I wonder if even MOA would help!

Sir,

That was not a "kazoo."


Travis

I don't think you said it loud enough.

Ouch!! The Butt Hurt runs strong after that mudhole I stomped in your ass in the D'Arcy thread.

I figured the the $7K you spent on POS ARs after I posted those AR picts and the $9K you spent on a Echols Legend built for another guy would have helped with with the sting.

Not so much??? Its only money and hey you gots a lot. Spend some more it will help.

In some circles your response has been described as "EPIC".

i dont have much to share on this debate, except my buddy has a couple of the greybull optics,, i have 4 of the regular 1eupold 4.5x14 with turrets, i wish leupold would put a reticle like the new gen 2 reticle in the greybull,

for me ranging, wind meter, look at my turret , spin it to the yardage note the moa hold for wind and shoot,,,,

i have asked a couple of guys on here to help me out and explain why i should change to mils, they keep touting there mil system and there new bushnell or whatever scope, but not one of the guys has responded to me to help me undersatand why i should switch,,,
i see a couple of the gen 2 greybull optics in my future, its easy for my dull mind to make work,,,,

Stay classy Mr. Burns
Posting under your real name is not helping your image.
Hint.

And all this time I thought the optics forum was the place to go for pizzin' matches�.


Oh, BTW Deflave�it is indeed a kazoo, regardless of what you heard�

I'm going back to spinning my new CDS turret at 50, 75, and 100 yards�...

Dang, you were right rc, it's working already.

I like the fact that with MILs I deal with smaller numbers. My 338 Lapua needs 6.9 MILs to get to 1,000 yards at sea level. In MOA angle I need 24 not a big deal really, but I like dealing with the smaller number. It matters not for a long range hunter which you use, because both work to perfection IMHO.

I don't know the history here, but it looks like a reply in defense rather than an attack


My post about using your real name was concerning forums on the net in general

formodillo, when JB started wondering who you are, I looked at some of your old posts. a few notes, for one I actually think you should be a writer your a very good story teller, seriously. I notice your from the east or south or both. that speaks volumes to me about what your knowledge is of a long range hunter and further your potential lack of it. I grew up in texas, which much of isn't any different than Tennessee or georgia or wherever your from. THERE IS NO PLACE TO LONG RANGE HUNT ANYTHING THERE!!!! further there is no place to shoot long range either other than someone's gun range. because there are too many trees and terrain generally doesn't allow that sort of distance shooting. everything is private land, this tells me most of your shooting is likely at a gun range somewhere. This is why I find it strange you coming on here and telling us westerners how its done.

I also find it strange how you reference LOTS of animals killed every year. This just sounds kinda strange, the people that really do don't brag about shooting "lots of animals every year" The other was your story of the elk hunt, I found it actually a cool story, but the people that have really spent "lots of" time in the mountains I am sure had their jaws drop. dude do you know how close you came to killing yourself?? people like you show up in the mountains all the time they are rescued if they are lucky, less lucky they are found dead, even worse they are never found, period. This happens every year where I live. that is all if your story is indeed true, which I am not going to comment on but others questioned. The mountains are an unforgiving place. even more so in the winter. I found little reference to common preparedness for back packing in the mountains on that trip. I don't say all this to belittle you, I say this so that next time you think about safety and preparedness because it could save your life, I don't think you have any idea even now the dangers that could have happened to you. attempting an elk hunt in the winter mountains ALONE is crazy IMO. I am sure you will pipe in and say I hunt this or that. I am sure you will attempt to debunk what I am saying with a my weiner is bigger that yours hunting comment about all the things you have done. all I am saying is just be careful when you get out in the wilds of the west.

What about it, formadillo, sounds like you got some splainin' to do.........

Do you have any idea of the dangers that could have happened to you?

OMG!!! I COULD'VE BEEN HURT!!!!


so scary




Bro.... You need help.
