[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 546747, member: 30902"] Most of my shooting is done from the truck on varmints and predators. Usually I've got less than ten seconds to get a shot off from the time the truck stops, and that includes grabbing a rifle and getting the scope covers off. Coyotes and bobcats around here just don't give you any longer unless you happen to catch a stupid one crossing a wheat field. No time to dial, and usually you just have to guestimate on range. Mil dots are easy. Just know your hundred yard zero is on a given dot, then do some shooting at actual ranges seeing where your strikes are, then adjust and either write them down or make a mental note if you can remember it. Or you can do as I do now and just put my 450 zero dead on the cross hair's and adjust from there using the previous method. Easy to do with just two or three rifles but it does get mentally taxing with more than that. Shooting for me is like waking up in the morning and taking a pee since I've been doing it as long as I can remember. [/QUOTE]
