[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 78739, member: 1133"] Are u running clicks for wind or are u referencing wind with the reticle-- ballistic or ranging? Although i still shoot pr. dogs some i never run clicks anymore for windage. The reason i do this is because i use pr. dog shooting for practice for hunting under field conditions, and i want a quick accurate reference for my wind call. I always pick my reticles such that i have a decent windage reference in them, i.e. i like to have a reticle with windage stadia that gives my 4-6 MOA (for hunting to 6-800 yds.) reference. Once i know the stadia subtensions, i simply divide the ballistic program windage calcs in MOA by each stadia's MOA value to reference windage in tenths of a "stadia unit". Then this info goes on my range sticker on my scope, so i can get a reasonable windage reference quickly in the field. I certainly don't have the experience many do on this forum, but this system has proven itself surprisingly very effective for me, and i am still quite taken aback when i make a 1st shot connection on a pr. dog in a 5-15 mph x-wind with my AR-15/Ballistic Plex reticle, and some of my single-shot handguns on coyotes at long-range.
