[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 547049, member: 30902"] Lots of different ways depending on how you are trained and whether you have FFP or SFP. I just use them to essentially form a grid and to estimate range and hold over/under nowadays and I've been successful to way beyond a thousand in doing so for lots of years. I use the windage dots for lead and wind adjustments and on the fly I just use the lenth of the animal to guage distance and adjust by x number of body lengths. For my long range rigs I set my hundred or two hundred yard zero at the top mil dot, and then shoot at known ranges counting down and make a mental or physical note how each rifle/load performs. Then when I know the range to the target without having to dope and dial I can put it on target in a matter of just a second or so (literally). You can read up on "The Whiz Wheel" and "Mil Dot Master" to learn how to use them "properly". [/QUOTE]
