I have been hunting deer with a crossbow in Il. for quite a while. I started out with a ten point eleit light, and didn't like it . It was too heavy in the front and to put a new string on it I had to take it to a pro-shop and spen d $100.00. for the past 8 years Ive used a Excaliber Exocet, 200...

When you say .5 x .75 are you talking about inches or moa?

I took a close look at them several months ago. At that time they had a 99% positive on ebay I also talked to them on the phone ;mostly because of the name .I was a bit suspishous of the name newcon I was thinking new-con and so I took a good look, but if thinking about making a purches I would...

1.047 times range in 100 yard increments, 1400 yards= 14, 14x1.047=14.658 moa Why do you keep akking me this?

I know what your talking about . I have a 1918 Bosh and lomb coinsidence 0ne meter-(I think, one meter ) its been a while sence I looked, and it's marked out to 20,000 yards. Its a split immage and yes they work but they take practice . Back before we could get lazers that was the only...

The part about the wind meter is to develop experience at judging wind value . The more experience you have the easier it is.

Sorry I assumed you would use a scope at any distance. However the mirage at the target really doesnt apply much. its the conditions between the target and the shooter, and if your shooting prone the conditions up close to the shooter dont matter much either because the wind doesnd blow as...

The 100% correct way is 1.047inches of angle for each 100 yards The person that gave you that reply knew what he was about. A moa. is 1/60th of a degree. at 100 yards that works out to 1.047 inches twice that at 200 yards and so on. and a mil is 3.5 moa or 1 yard at 1000 yards. I prefer moa...

Has anyone looked at a US OPTICS SN-9 I plan on getting one this fall ,the first focal plain seems like a big advantage . Right now I have a Leupold mk Iv m1 150 moa. of elevation but only 16-x the sn-9 is 10 to 42 160 moa Old School external ajustments , but expencive

A minute of angle is roughely 1 inch at 100 yards 2 inches at 200 yards 3 inches at 300 yards. 3 devided by 2 is 2/3 or .66 moa.

Do you know how to read the mirage, if not buy a good wind meter and carrie it with you every where. Look at the mirage read the meter, and keep doing it until you know how to tell what the wind speed is by the way the mirage is running. when you can do that the rest is easy. Also at the range...

A SUB 1/4 MIN. GROUP AT 1400 YARDS I AM IMPRESSED. It looks to me like your ready for hunting season. Oh by the way thats a very nice range you have, its somthing I can only dream about at the moment.

Depending on the scope its not that hard, night force the leupold mk4 ect are flat on the bottom. If you put rifle in a padded vice asuming its a bolt action level across the railes if the vice is level usally the rifle will be too if not level the bench. Then titen the rings up just enough...

I really like cutting edege bullets too. I have a 378 Weatherby ackely improved. Im pushing a 330 grain max at 3000 fps. the accuracy is unbeliveable to the point that puting one bullet through the same bullet hole at 100 yards is boreingly easy. Im presently living in Ill. so I havent had many...

To range things at extream ranges requires a more powerful range finder. Newcon optics of canada makes every flavor of lazer rangefinder you can think of 3000 meter 4000 meter all the way out to 21,000 meter, but the 21,000 range finder is extreamly expencive $29,000.00 the smaller versions are...
