[QUOTE="Glock119, post: 61628, member: 3218"] [ QUOTE ] 3 sixbits, you ever heard or the 6 P's ? prior planning prevents **** poor performance. the idea is you see in which general direction the caribou ar moving, you lead em with the rifle, get the angle of the ACI and this gives you at altered elevation adjustment for the distance and elevation or the target, the ACI is as quick to use as taking the safety off. But then i work in Miliradians, meters and adjust my scope in .10 miliradians. the math is instantaneouse and easy. now if you are going from yards to MOA and fromMOA to 1/4 inch clicks, then working the fraction on the ACI etc,, i can see how it would slow you up. What i like to do is pre range and ACI my target area, ploting focal points or memory for elevation and range,i learned this as a soldier we used to make range cards on the back of ration packs.

I am fairly new LLH and this site and recently got my ACI, and all I did was make up a range card in "Exel" to work very similar in design to the Ballisticard system by using the cosine # Which I have done from 0 to .57 slope off ACI and range every 25 yds to 1000yds, adjusted for drop in MOA and wind drifts in 2.5mph,5mph & 10mph also set for MOA.

Time is in mindset, I think we as hunters have all the time, it's our targets who do not have time, as its just a matter of time till we make our shot. There is definitely a difference in short range and long range shooting. Short range shooting a hunter may very well not have time and may need to make quick shots instantly, But in long range hunting I think time is a mindset and not as important as animals are relaxed and calm with minimal movement.

Your 100% correct in the "6 P's" with planning to be the key "P". Just my thoughts, Ben [/QUOTE]
