[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 86591, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] The question is, can you hold-off to an accuracy of 1/4 moa out at long distances with absolute consistency. [/ QUOTE ] Answer is no, but I think I can, up to a point. Deer sized target yes, coyote sized target a bit iffy. What is really happening for me is that the mil dot - hold over technique is the learning phase between plex cross hair and clicking ups and downs. [ QUOTE ] Not to say that holding-off is not a viable hunting procedure, but I do not believe that it can be as precise and precision is what we are after. [/ QUOTE ] It is viable for me as long as I stay w/in my limits and I know my limits. At the moment I'm confident out to about 760 but what if something appears at 1013. I'd better have the self discipline to get a little closer. [ QUOTE ] What if the wind is blowing, you are holding off for wind also, makes it tough. [/ QUOTE ] Always the deal breaker. Wind sux [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] but still skeer'd of clicking. [/QUOTE]
