[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 52067, member: 25"] Thanks Dave, I am thinking about making a chart showing lead using deer body lengths and portions of a body length. Deer are not all the same length but it seems that body length is what I always relate to when I am shooting at moving deer. I measured some chest to tail distances, got 43-45 inches for our deer. Relatively few hunters have Mil-dots so I am looking for something else. Don't like inches, feet and yards for lead - no time for that when I am shooting at a running buck. Can relate to one and one half body lengths. Big hassle is oblique shots, throws this whole idea all to hell. Guess I will only shoot 90 degree shots from now on [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Thanks again Dave, I will send you my "chart", it is going into that article I sent yesterday. ian [/QUOTE]
