[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 748122, member: 10391"] I find the quickest while hunting is to dial the elevation from a drop chart and hold off for wind using the reticle. Wind can change in a heartbeat and you can quickly adjust if you are not dialing If you have a wind meter carry it with you all the time and learn the "feel" of a 10 mph wind or whatever and while using the meter see how the trees and brush around you is acting. I did that one whole summer and it amazed me how accurate I have got "guessing" the wind. I have a self imposed limit of 800 yards while hunting and also is my longest target that I practice at. The 800 yard target is down the canyon and on the far side of another canyon that runs 90 degrees to the one I shoot from. The wind can get very tricky but I have learned to look at the timber mainly, especially where the two canyons come together and just guess it based on what I learned while carrying the meter around. Even if you use a meter it does not tell you what is going on 400+ yards out so you should learn to "guess". If you are looking for a good scope with a BDC reticle and a elevation turret in MOA check out the Vortex Viper HS Long Range. [/QUOTE]
