[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 615469, member: 21068"] Ok, I can see how 1 click could maybe only move the poi 2" now. Likewise, it makes sense that the movement of 1 click may be 6"(@ 1550 yds). Resulting in the possibility of a 2" error from what we're expecting. I can visualize the analagy of leaning the target back at a 45 angle and it appearing smaller also, in fact that is why I used to range game animals (via a reticle) with the vertical portion of their anatomy rather than the horizontal (or what "appeared" horizontal). When they were standing up, their anatomy was surely vertical, but we don't know if they are perfectly broadside or not. I guess I'm still not seeing the 8" circle theory but that's ok, it's probably my density. Been a long long time since Geometry or Trig and I've forgotten what I once understood about chords, arcs and radiuses, and I don't even remeber alot of the other terms we used to discuss.:) [/QUOTE]
