[QUOTE="gonehuntingagain, post: 58305, member: 1206"] [ QUOTE ] When you ranged that elk at 1100, was it hard to hole the square on the elk, did you have it braced in some manner? [/ QUOTE ] I was braced against a solid object (my truck), so it was firly easy to hold the square on the elk. If I wasn't at my truck, I would have found a stump or improvised a steady rest. Holding over would be fine if you have a scope reticle that supports it and you have practiced with it enough to be confident. I am not sure how well this would work if you had a target that was at an "in between" yardage, say 450 yards - not at the 400 yard hold over, and not at the 500 yard holdover. Maybe some others could chime in on how the "in between" yardages work on a holdover type of reticle. [/QUOTE]
