[QUOTE="1894, post: 19185, member: 1958"] My answer would be that out to 250 or indeed 300 a good stalker should be able to judge range purely by eye (ie bracketing etc) and not need ANY equipment. I know I am in the minority here but with a 150m zeroed standard rifle one can simplify to two holds with roe out to 300m. Half body depth for under 250 and just under top line for over. Any doubt and you should shoot just under the top line and harvest your buck even if he is at 300 instead of your guesstimate of 250. Even if he proves to be at 100m (at which point you should seriously think of getting an eye test! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] )you will kill albeit with a carcass damaging spine shot. I do wonder how many people are using dedicated long range equipment on ordinary range hunting. I'm an ordinary range guy myself but enjoy this forum for the most part. [/QUOTE]
