[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 883223, member: 10291"] I think you are dealing with a few different issues. 1)Confidence, as a result of missing your opportunity at the doe, 2) not having a complete understanding of how to effectively range with the G7, and 3)struggling to use/decide on changing to the Kestral, Shooter, etc. system. It appears that your G7 is set up correctly and working well as evidenced by your 1100 yard results. in my view your missed opportunity at the doe was due to confusion about the yardage reading due to terrain effects. Having ranged hundreds of animals with the G7(and Terrapin) in all kinds of difficult terrain, it is extremely likely that an accurate reading could have quickly been obtained with either unit. it's also quite possible that you would have missed your opportunity at your doe by having to take the time to measure and enter your conditions using Shooter, etc. The overall approach is based on personal preference and a lot of time and practice. In my view the logical path to solving all three issues is to master the ranging capabilities of your G7 before deciding to completely change your approach based on this one experience on game in the field. I can assure you that you will have to learn and understand the output of the Terrapin in difficult ranging situations anyway even at practical hunting ranges not to mention the use of the Kestral, angles, calculator etc. IMO.
