[QUOTE="ewallace, post: 129812, member: 525"] Ernie it is easy to get confused when hunting whether it be a running deer at 20 yards in the woods a bugling elk about to step into the timber at 200 yards and you rush the shot, or a long shot. We are not perfect and make mastakes. I use the Kiss (Keep it simple stupid) method when making a drop chart and making adjustments on my scope for my long range hunting. I first herd of the Kiss method form Dave Tooley and it seems to work for hunting and competition shooting. If my range finder is in meters my drop chart is in meters and just click it I use MOA not clicks it takes to long to count 243 clicks (60.75 MOA) when you have a big game animal feeding in a opening. I put the MOA from bottoming out the adjustment to my 100 meter 0 on my drop chart and the same for my windage. It can get confusing where you adjust for a animal at 1950 meters with a 7 mph wind make a spotter shot adjust some elevation in and then some more wind then the animal moves 30 yards farther out put 1.5 more elevation in for the extra 30 meters. Then the animal step into the black timber and you don't get a shot and must get back to a 100 meter 0. I have 13 hold over points on my nightforce and rarely use them mostly on shots where I run out of elevation adjustment and have turned the power down on the scope for even more elevation. [/QUOTE]
