[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1900578, member: 113623"] I am legitimately not sure what you are attempting to say with the asterisks. Miscalculating the dope to miss a 75' berm, even at 1000 yards is gross negligence. Take the 1000 yard example, it comes down to 1.) using the absolute wrong caliber for the scenario (whether it is the one the person is actually shooting, or the one that is programmed into the LRF), and then 2.) not having the wherewithal to realize that the drop is off by 25 mils. Everybody screws up, myself include, there is no doubt about that. I, however, have [I]never[/I] missed a target by 75', especially in a closed environment like a range. As you aptly put, sometimes you can't cure stupid even if with a 75' wall. I think you and I are agreeing that these are the actions of incompetent individuals, or someone who is not proficient enough as a shooter to be attempting targets at longer ranges. Where we differ is just how "cryptic" you believe the programming is. Ultimately, its not Sig's fault if someone gets behind a range finder without knowing how to use it and misses, just like its not Toyota's fault if someone gets behind the wheel without knowing how to drive and crashes.
