[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 728625, member: 30902"] If you know the distance just work with known measurements. From the whithers to the bottom of the chest the deer is about 18-20 inches. Half of that is 10 inches, twice that is 38" (again going with close approximations). If you are zeroed for 350 and it is a 450yds shot, look at your drop chart and see how many inches it is from 350-450. Say it's 9". Well look in your scope put the cross hairs dead center between the top of the whithers and bottom of chest. Raise then your crosshairs to the top of the whithers and pull the trigger and the bullet should strike at that same midpoint. A little high and you have lungs and spine to slice through. A little low and you punch a golfball sized hole right through his heart. The results are the same either way DRT. [/QUOTE]
