[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2525053, member: 10291"] Prior to owning a decent RF, I used Mildots to range game quite successfully to 500 or 600 yards. Flat shooting/high velocity cartridges reduced the inherent error in using this method. The next level, or enabler for me came about with the early lazer RFs combined with the use of ballistic calculators to determine drops. The early Leica RF’s and the Geovid worked well enough to double my hunting range to 1000 with my first 998 yard shot on a whitetail. This was a milestone for me. I will say that ranging at those distances was often difficult with multiple attempts necessary to confirm accurate ranges. The ultimate progression came with the acquisition of a Gunwerks G7 Ballistic RF. With some fine tuning, the speed and precision of acquiring and accurate dope made a material difference for me. Since the acquisition of that G7 RF, others have followed, each having its own attributes, but for my typical 1000 yards(as far as 1200 yards) hunting, the technology has pretty much stabilized. I will say that a recent acquisition of the Revic BR4, IMO, is a highly refined Ballistic RF that trumps the speed of acquiring ranges, precision, and simplicity of operation of all the RF’s I’ve owned and used thus far. As to shooting process, unlike my practices in competition(PRS), I have always,and will likely continue to dial for elevation, and use my reticle for windage corrections.. For me, this makes observing bullet impact and game reaction easier and more certain. [/QUOTE]
