[QUOTE="edge, post: 167626, member: 5030"] I use it, but in a slightly different way. Having started hunting as a bowhunter, I always have aimed for the heart as the best killing shot, and to guard against the animal dropping at the sound of the string. Since the heart in in the lower third of a deers body, I use an enlarged MPBR of 10-12 inches but ONLY the part that is above my POA ( meaning that the bullet will never be more than 5-6 inches above my POA ). I do this for a few reasons. First, if an animal is anywhere from a few yards, out to my Zero range I should not need a rangefinder and am ready for a quick shot knowing that my bullet will not fall below my aim, and won't shoot above the "high shoulder shot" that some like. If the deer is a long way off then there will be time for a rangefinder and either compensate by adjusting POA or spinning the turret. Normally this is a Zero of about 300 yards. I am usually good at knowing if a deer is closer than 250 yards or so, depending on terrain, so I can aim and shoot without really thinking. IMO, I only really need to worry about windage and not drop and windage. edge. [/QUOTE]
