[QUOTE="SAVAGE22-243AI, post: 513042, member: 25124"] We have tryed all types of range finders, most are good for 400 yds or less. But if you walk out into field before you start and range your buddy or truck then mark distance with flags or paint on mounts, that works great, because a dog ranged at 616 came out to 492 measured or ranged back to truck. We don't use range finders anymore, we just shoot them from experence. Spot for each other and it doesn't take long to remember your hold over for the distance. Last week I hit three at 715 yds in Wyoming, couple at 550, a bunch at 460 to 490, and then lots of smaller dogs at the 180 to 300 yd range. Also a measuring wheel works good to check ranges when checking you finder....................gun) My friends this year used the best built tables you have ever seen, used range finders, wind meters, ballistic charts, levels on table and rifles, take 5 to 15 minutes per shot, then squeeze the trigger on their 30 pound rifles and miss! From .204's to 6.5x284, experence in the field beat out the tectical equipment this year...............have fun Dogging!gun) Their kill ratios were 15% and 22%, mine was 33%, not bad for the wind, rain! We all had a wonderful time in Wyoming.gun) [/QUOTE]
