[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 241280, member: 3776"] Well I've been around animals all of my life and I can assure you they are not uniform in size and I say that with all due respect to your Taxidermist. I also agree with sscoyote that to 500 or 600 yards one can get away with this type of range estimation, but 5 to 600 yards "is not long range" it is medium range. A difference of an inch or 2 can skew your estimate enough to cause disastrous results. There is absolutely no better way to range other than a top quality "Laser Range Finder" One hard steel target 'of a known size" and no movement at all the reticule will range fairly well, but there is no way that I will or recommend a long shot by estimating the distance with a reticule and an "estimated animal size" that is a recipe with disaster written all over it.
