[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 328244, member: 319"] Nothing wrong with that at all. But to add something you may not have considered yet, you don't need to dial both drop and wind. I prefer to dial drop and hold wind so a reticle with good reference marks is very useful. Dialing drop (usually) is pretty quick and mindless--read the range, dial the number. Quick and easy. Dialing the wind is much more difficult and more of a judgment call. It takes some "thinking" and "observing" before deciding what the final wind hold will be. I find looking through the scope at mirage, movement of foliage around the target, etc, helps me decide while I'm already on the target. Not to mention it'll often change between the time you dial and get on the target so it's sometimes unavoidable. Anyway, just something to ponder you may not have yet. Of course I suck at reading the wind so don't take it as gospel.... :) [/QUOTE]
