[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1594324, member: 97050"] There’s just a few reasons to use the reticle these days. Confirmation of distance if you think the rangefinder is erroneous, if for whatever reason a laser will give away your position to an enemy at night for those that that applies to, and lastly if your batteries or unit dies and it’s a last resort. Then the old dope book comes out with the page of “common target measurements” for reference. Most of which don’t apply to competition or even hunting really. If my batteries die hunting, I’ll kick myself for not checking my gear prior by walking five miles back to the truck and head to the general store for batteries and grab a Mountain Dew while I’m at it. I’m not going to mil out a 4 inch mule deer ear or assume the deer is a 38 inches tall average or whatever it is. [/QUOTE]
