[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 162868, member: 1521"] Bottom line: Mildots suck for HUNTING. Few shooters use them correctly. And apparently nobody can keep MILS/MOA/INCHES straight. Not even scope makers.. There are great examples of this posted here. Example: A 12" target@ 2MOA... He used the NF rule of thumb: 12/2*100 = 600yds I have seen US Optics use this as well(within a week). They are wrong. NF is in MOA, so 12/(1.047*2)*100 = 573yds This is a huge error with a kill zone of only a few inches. Someone else talking about how holding off with Mildots was so much easier.. Than what? Holding off with a crosshair reticle? Look, if you just shoot & shoot & shoot until you finally hit something, no reticle will help you over another. Just how far exactly were you holding off with them Mildots? It's madness that this comes up every few days on this site. [/QUOTE]
