[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 89346, member: 11"] Thank you. I remember my first long range shooting experience. Dave in Idaho brought me out to a windy hillside and showed me how he shot his one foot gong at over 600 yards with his rem VLS .243. I tried the same thing with my skinny bbl ruger ultralite. He showed me how cranking knobs let you put the cross hairs right on the target. He hit the gong 9 out of 10 times. I didn't have target knobs so I picked a patch of sage that was up and to the side of the gong and fired. After a few tries I was able to hit the gong about 3 out of 10 times. With this in mind I would imagine that I would be somewhere in the middle by having a reference point in the scope to use for an educated first shot. I have also noticed that in the desert I see coyotes in the same places every once in a while. They seem to spook in the same direction and travel at the same speed every time I see them. Since they won't come to the dinner bell it would also be nice to have a preconsidered plan of lead and holdover when coming up on these regular areas. The lower tick marks should help with this sort of shooting where drops are somewhat known but are inconvenient to use due to time constraints. I really like the idea of having more frequent marks on the crosshairs for range estimation than what we get with the normal mill dot system. [/QUOTE]
