[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 45591, member: 25"] nottoofar, You hit it on the head, we have to practice and get the knowledge and confidence to use holdoffs with accuracy. I was like you for a long time, did not like to mess with turrets and I still believe that some turrets are best left alone. But I found that when I got really good scopes that the turrets are absolutely accurate and trustworthy. Made a big change in my shooting. Scopes like the NXS and MK4 are designed to be cranked - matter of fact the more you work the turrets the crisper some of them get since there are rubber O-rings that need to seat from use. When I use mildot reticles I also get five additional holdoff points for elevation, all I have to do is shoot to determine what range they are good for. Big problem is out past 5-600 where the curve of the trajectory is not a nice arc but a parabola that starts to curve real sharp. We find that makes holdoff estimation really tuff, clicking will give more precision. Envy your ability to go out in the desert and shoot, we lose about 1/3 or more of our shooting-year to winter.
