[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 311055, member: 1007"] It seems that in most cases I have been able to range critters accurately enough for a ethical shot out to 600 yards. I have been able to consistently get within 25 yards out to 750 yards but IMHO 25 yards is too much a margin of error for most calibers at that range. Out to 600, the errors are less than that AND the trajectory is still flat enough to make an ethical shot with the errors. The proccess is simple. Target size in inches multiplied by 27.778 divided by the amount of mils the target takes up. Example = an average buck deer in inches from back to belly = 18" you note that the buck takes up precisely 1.35 mils. 18 * 27.778 = 500 / 1.35 = 370 yards. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
