[QUOTE="Broz, post: 575593, member: 7503"] Valid point. I do all the tests to have full confidence in my scope returning to zero every time, and also that it tracks dead on. The Nightforce NXS's I hunt with have been good to me in that aspect and I trust them completely. I started the longer pokes years ago with hold over reticles. I just never liked it and felt it limited me. I could not get a good feel about holding between marks for a point of aim. I teach and practice aiming at a small point of impacts, whether it is a target or game. This is probably why I am more comfortable with SFP , large magnified targets and small , fine crosshairs. On my wifes elk at 816 yrds this year I had her aim at a ruffled spot of hair in the crease behind the shoulder, golf ball size. It worked perfectly. Hard to do that with hold over. For me anyway. Glad you enjoyed the posts from my season. It has been a very good one. The freezers are full and I was able to take a first year boy and get his elk and also a disabled neighbor for a nice fat cow. The neighbor was amazed at how far he shot. Only 521 yards, but DRT and he seen the 210 Berger hit, and the cow drop through the scope. He was stoked!! Threads like this open good discussion up for many senarios. Definatly method of use, method of ranging and distance of shots are key to the decision. Not to mention terrain. Jeff [/QUOTE]
