[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 876944, member: 30902"] Straight cross hairs. Since in a case like this you are using body height and length and inches and doing it all in your head as you are putting it together in just a few seconds trying to do part of it in inches and part in MOA is more than my pea brain can handle. With a Mil or MOA graduated reticle it would be much easier, but to be honest on a moving shot like that even with those reticles I'm using the graduations just to help me more accurately do the quick math on the lead and hold rather than attemptig to do MOA or Mil calculations. Keep in mind that a lot of our shooting on varmints like hogs and coyotes gives us a maximum of one minute and more realistically about 30 seconds from first sighting until pulling the trigger. I this case while I knew the range almost exactly to the far end of the field I was still having to do a quick rough guess as to the range to target figuring he was about 200yds from the far end as I first saw him angling slightly south (shooting N-S) and he then turned almost due south after I got stopped while I was setting up. Body dimensions work extremely well if you know your game and keep those figures in mind. [/QUOTE]
