[QUOTE="peterb, post: 287240, member: 12078"] Well GP, that is one interesting little story. Don't spose you were involved by any chance ? Secondly, I am trying to ascertain whether you are trying to make me feel better, or more inadequate. :rolleyes: As I mentioned before (somewhere), I don't use portable electronic equipment at all. I must seem really old school to you chaps, but that's the way I am. Also, I could be classed as frugal. I do try and make 'one shot, one kill ' as often as I can, whether it be real live animal targets or just a target set up. I was absolutely amazed to read somewhere in this site - of guys who shoot at looong range and quite often have a practice shot to test wind etc. Unfortunately, I don't have those luxuries. Generally, if you do happen to miss, you are dead lucky to get a second shot of any sort. Occasionally, I manage to position myself so the animals I shoot can't tell where the shot is coming from. In that couple of seconds of confusion, I occasionally get another target to shoot. The rifle I use is a 308 range rifle. Single shot, stainless barrel, custom wood stock and Lee Enfield 303 action, so you can see why I am so particular about the one shot - it has to count ! Anyway, I am still going to work on my MilDots with the zoom then verify with a vehicle speedometer. Pretty rough I know, but it works for me. Cheers, Pete. [/QUOTE]
