[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 719228, member: 41338"] I'm using Mils. although I don't see how it matters that much in a hunting application. Estimating range from objects of a known size is more applicable in tactical scenarios more so than hunting. When making those conversions, using metrics IMO has an advantage if your comfortable with it. I'm not naturally comfortable with it because I've known inches, feet and yards my whole life and it's not that easy to decide your going to think in different increments. Game animals come in all different sizes and stand at all different angles so knowing their dimensions from a distance is more or less a guess past 5 or 600 yards. A range finder and app or cheat sheet is the way to go regardless of what you use. If you want a non-electrical back up, a Mil Dot Master is great and easy on the head too. I'm using Mils because it's a little different and sometimes it's fun to do things a little outside of your comfort zone. In the strictest sense, using metric units of measure are the way to go if they were universally used but for most of us, it's like learning a different language, albeit an easy language. [/QUOTE]
