[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2924205, member: 42494"] Agreed, all elk are not created equal. Laser rangefinders and dialing is much more accurate than the Shepherd system, but the Shepherd is much, much faster. I wouldn't want to use the Shepherd to range past about 500yds with laser rangefinders now available. The error induced by the Shepherd at ranges closer than 500 yds is really insignificant for those fast, fleeting shots. Usually game observed further away than 500yds gives you time to pull out the laser rangefinder, get a distance, open the ballistic app to determine how many clicks to dial, dial the scope, and then finally aim and fire. With the Shepherd, you just fit the appropriate circle over the game and fire, no range calculation is required. Which ranging and adjustment technique is best (holdover or dialing) depends on the hunting scenario. [/QUOTE]
