[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 546701, member: 8833"] Sorry - I now understand what you were asking. Didn't mean to sound the way it came out. For me personally - I don't like looking at a chart (be it taped to my stock, an ipod, ballistic printout ) or whatever it is and then counting come ups. I've got an engineering degree and 2 out of ten times I'll screw it up in the heat of the battle. When I'm in shooting position I want everything to be simple and easy so that I don't have to take my eyes away from target more than a couple seconds. I may need to make a click or 2 up or down on slow moving target or shooting angle adjustment but the initial setting is quick and a no brainer. So to answer your question now that you got me lined out - YES - it is much quicker than the come up method with a chart (For me anyway) With any change in the way a person has done it in the past, there is a brain training learning curve. Put your turret yardage system together and spend a day in the field on them softball to basketball size rocks and it won't take long to tell you if the system will work for you. If you don't like it, peel it off, go back to your old method and you shouldn't be out more than a couple bucks. Good luck - if you run into any further questions feel free to PM me as I've pretty much made most of the mistakes you are about to encounter. [/QUOTE]
