[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 946869, member: 48559"] I just braced up my HSLR FFP on the tripod and made some measurements for you:from the center of the reticle to the edge of the THICK horizontal bar (way outside the nice detailed center of the reticle) is 44 moa, and that very thin hash on the thick bar is 48 moa. I am not a big yote hunter because I don't see many (exactly one so far) in my part of PA, but I understand that on average a yote is something like 30 inches or so from shoulder to tail root if he is full broadside. His body is less than the 32 moa on one side of your center pattern, and you probably want to turn up the magnification for more crosshair detail. But to lead a moving critter running 20 mph, goes something like this: 20x5280/60/60x.108/1.047=36.3moa of lead (miles converted to feet to inches to moa adjusted for time of flight to 100yards) for my rifle's load. In short, you will want that gap between the fine detail reticle ending and that monster thick post's edge on your intended point of impact. I suspect the biggest challenge is not gonna be how well you can see the reticle, but rather how accurately you can estimate the critter's speed. At least up close, you can pretty much ignore crosswind effect unless the wind is fast enough to be knocking you over. [/QUOTE]
