[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 414274, member: 10414"] With everything I read in your post and the way I understood it, you should be making your own ballistics drop table and not using a computer gererated chart. They only way to do that is to shoot and record your own results. IMO using MILs in long range hunting for the porpose of determining range to a game animal is not a good idea and here is why. The MIL trace it's history in military applications to artillery and sniping use for ranging. Lets talk sniping because it most closely relates to LRH. When using MILs on the battle field for the intended purpose of hunting men (game animal), the sniper uses mils to take measurements of objects of known size ie, helmets, weapons .etc, too determin the range to target (Elk, Deer,Pigs do not where battle rattle). What can you use that is a know size? A tree......... People and game are all diffrent sizes so like BROZ said in his post the error is just to great for a one shot kill! In addition you shoot at a human they are very likely to just stand there for a min or 10 depending on religion and give you many solid opportunitys to correct your shot in my experience a deer will not. So I'm not saying it cant be done at all I'm just saying it cant be done ethically 100% of the time using only MILs. I would use both just to get the practice with the mills but confirm with the lazer. If you change your mind send me a PM with your email and I will send you a free calculator. [/QUOTE]
