[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1278214, member: 54178"] Gents, A "competition" between dialing shooters and hold shooters is still a SKILL test, not an objective scope test. To do an objective scope test we would need ONE rifle with ONE scope in a Lead Sled. We then "shoot a square" by [I]dialing[/I] and then on another target by [I]holding[/I]. Three shots per target. Good turrets means dialing should result in the same results as good holds with each hold of a Christmas tree reticle set exactly on target before the trigger is gently pulled. (Just as dialing [I]should[/I] get your main crosshair to your desired target.) ABSOLUTELY NO "DIAL OVER-DIAL BACK" FOR SO-CALLED BACKLASH MITIGATION. Just dial the necessary clicks and stop and shoot. THEN we might have a scientific comparison as opposed to a skill comparison. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
