[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2529589, member: 54178"] ORKAN, my sentiments precisely. In an ideal hunting world I would have my gun bearer/spotter with me. As it stands I always hunt alone - ALWAYS. Therefore I use my LRF binoculars and data card inside my Vortex scope caps AND a G3 small "Xmas tree" reticle to aid in exact elevation and "pretty close" windage estimation. No holding "out in space" with that reticle but instead an exact reticle hash mark. As well, no precious time spent dialing. Finally my G3 reticle is illuminated for situations with dark backgrounds or very cloudy days. If you question the quality of my lens cap data card let me say: 1.) I use my Magnetospeed V3 chronometer 2.) I always use the same Hornady ELD-X ammo 3.) I generate my data card with the HORNADY 4DOF ballistic engine, the most accurate known ballistic engine because it uses Doppler radar for measuring bullet BCs at many points on its trajectory instead of using G1 or G7 computer calculated "averaged" data. 4.) I do practice and compete in long range (to 1,100 yards) competition here in the 'Vegas area so a 500 yard shot is medium, not "long" for me. Practice is very important in knowing your abilities/limitations and improving skills. [/QUOTE]
