[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1360565, member: 97414"] For Harvesting application I range find from 3 power with my Nikon BDC optics. The reason for this is for wide field of view, and things happen fast. Fast is what its all about. Large Deer are 18" to 20" Large Elk from 24" to 26" So I quick pick 5 from 100 to 600 meters. Muzzle to 200 meters gets cross hairs. 200 to 300m gets the 1/2 way between cross hairs and first circle. 300 to 400m gets the center of first circle. 500m gets the middle of first & second circles. And 600m is the top edge of the second circle on the critter back bone. Spread of kill zone on large Deer is 11" to 12". Large Elk is 14" to 16". I base my critter size to Large 20" Deer, that way I know Elk with their larger girth are 35 meters out there further using this fast quick pick. All I do is hold the cross hairs the smallest friction higher on the back line of Elk. When I do the 1 k, I range find on the highest power, but for Harvesting applications I use the lowest. So today I had 300m in 1 direction,,, if any thing walked out it would of got the the +/o split on that side. The other direction had 500m's. Same split of +/o to 300M. Then center of first a O circle for 400m and back-line for the 500m. All my targets are 20" from 100 to 600m for harvest season practic. That way I become familiar with ranging.
