[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 143789, member: 8"] I would guess and say that probably 25-50% of the people on this site have a 300 - 500 yard gun with a reticle BDC that they use for certain hunting situations. These guys will be shooting something like a muzzle loader or maybe a 257 Roberts where you really can't stretch the gun out much more than that. There will be a group of people who hunt the same land with the same gun every year and they will simply not need a complicated system and they will have a knob BDC. I would guess maybe 10-20 % would fall into this category. They will probably not shoot much over 600 yards at a hoofed animal. I would guess that maybe less than 10% of the members of this site use a BDC knob on a long range travel gun. In other words a dedicated long range rifle that is taken to many differrent places to hunt many different animls I would guess maybe 50- 70 % of the people have a straight knob system and get their drops from a chart or PDA and dial up in inches. I would guess maybe 5 percent or less of the people use a mildot reticle to get their holds instead of a dial up adjustment. Obviosly people have different guns with different scopes for different animals so I suspect a lot of people use and like the BDCs simplicity for certain types of hunting at medium long range- say 400 - 800 yards. When you get into the realm of 800 yards to 1500 yards people have such advanced skills that most will use a straight dial up. I am not aware of anyone on this forum useing a calibrated BDC knob at or beyond 1K and making kills with it at least in the two years I have been reading the hunting stories. Long ago I made one and used it and I know what can be done with one. [/QUOTE]
