[QUOTE="AtownBcat, post: 445848, member: 15385"] I could not agree with you more. At first I toyed with the idea of using my scope to range.(you know the mil system) I believe this method to be a wild guess at best when dealing with game animals because there is NO way to know his size exactly..My deer was 16 1/2 inches through the chest. We have shot some a wide as 20 inches through the chest. Play with thoes numbers for a second and see if you guess wrong by an inch and a half how far you are off. Not to mention just like everything else in this sport the farther he is the worse it gets. I found out for the first hour and a half of this hunt the best scope/rifle combo in the world are useless if you dont know how far your target is. I will look into the unit you mentioned..isnt the 3000 tag about where they are? [/QUOTE]
