[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 590688, member: 28348"] here are my initial thoughts on the horus setup. keep in mind I havne't used one but watched some videos on it. what happens if you need to shoot in light that isn't the best?? oh but the reticle has illumination, what if the battery runs out, scope is left on, or for whatever reason the battery will not work?? you must also monkey with the illumination to get it the right brightness. the other thing is you must consult a drop chart everytime unless you happen to memorize it. a BDC has this marked on the turret, dial the turret, hold for wind, BANG. no fumbling around and digging out a drop chart. next it clutters up the reticle and takes away from the usefullness of it. I would think it would be hard to shoot moving targets as well with it. with all those marks and you being nervous I think it would be easier to hold on the wrong mark of the scope much easier. I personally think the reticle is more for a shooter and a spotter 2 man arrangement. the spotter has the same reticle in his spotting scope, has the drop chart and range with him, then calls out the right hold point. that is where I see it making sense, not in a hunting scenerio, and even at that a marked BDC turret with a reticle that has wind hold offs I still say is very tuff to beat with any system [/QUOTE]
