[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2533528, member: 115658"] They put those dots and hash marks on scope reticles for some purpose - like look there's one just left of the fence post at 478 yards, quick shoot it. What's next - count clicks, look at dial and turn or look at hash marks on reticle & shoot. Counting clicks and looking at dial is more accurate (provided the scope tracks good) but takes more time ). Then there is the situation where the rangefinder does not work, like dead battery, extreme cold, in this case using an object having known size with reticle feature spacing will enable a reasonably good range estimate. In the US military the metric system is used. In civilian rodent shooting - there's a real big one -looks like it's 457 mm long. Impossible, they don't get that big (or do they?) [/QUOTE]
