[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 1002465, member: 4686"] Here are my HD-B's with the aforementioned division 4 cheat sheet. [URL=http://s26.photobucket.com/user/GSSP/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/20141019_083959_zps5tlk7kyd.jpg.html][IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/GSSP/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/20141019_083959_zps5tlk7kyd.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Geo, I really held off on buying my HD-B's for several months. I too hated the drop output in clicks when the appropriate output should be in decimal form such as 13.25 moa instead of 53 clicks. When under the gun to get the shot set up and sent, my brain goes to mush and I need "simple stupid"!
