[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 3996, member: 34"] Brent Your forgetting the hunting partner with the Bigeyes who is doing the spotting. Lets say I take a spotter "shot" that will impact 100 yards to the left or right of the animal so it won't scare him. Keep in mind I have looked for an impact spot as my aiming point. It could be the bottom of a stump or a bare spot of ground and my aiming point is the CENTER of that target. I fire with the amount of clicks called for after I have ranged the yardage with my Military laser rangefinder. My spotter and I both see the bullet impact 1 foot high and 1 foot right or two feet high and two feet right, it doesn't matter. We dial the windage and elevation "FROM" the original aiming point and to the impact of the bullet to make this correction and fire one more time. This time the bullet impacts EXACTLY at the aiming point and we then swing to the animal and kill it within 5 seconds. You won't be high, low, left or right after you have made the scope adjustments and fired a final round to make sure that the wind didn't change. Within 5 seconds the animal is hit where we aimed. The first round hit leaves alot to be desired at the 1500 yard range. As has been said, NO drop chart is 100% correct day after day. I would suggest trying Both ways and seeing which you like the best. Make sure you have a hunting partner with a set of Bigeyes. If you hunt alone, the first round hit is your only option. If your shots are extremely long and if you have a hunting partner who is your spotter with a real good set of Bigeyes, I'm sure you will find the most accurate way is with the spotter or two first, system. We have tried the rangefinder reticles and have always gone back to the spotter system here in PA and Colorado. For "us" it's more positive and accurate especially at the ranges we like to shoot. As an add on here---If shooting inside of 1250 yards, one shot is normally fired as a spotter. You mentioned 1500 yards and I'm saying 1500 plus for two spotters. We always click TO the impact of the bullet from the origianl aiming point on our spotter round. That way there is NO guess work. Don't you think that actual fire "THAT" day will eleminate a lot of "if's"??? Take your pick of hunting styles. The spotter system has always worked well for me.
