[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2594099, member: 101482"] Welcome! Yeah totally depends on your style shooting... I personally dial my elevation for longer shots, when I can. I also typically use first focal plane scopes, since the reticle stays in the same proportion to the target- that way I can hold over no matter what magnification I'm on. You can't do that with your scope, most likely (I'm assuming it is second focal plane). So, if you want to use reticle hash marks for hold over, you are going to have to dial to a specific magnification where those holdovers are accurate. Usually max magnification. If it's a long shot, you will likely be on max anyway... But if you aren't, and you use hash marks to hold over, you will likely miss (at best). If you aren't going to shoot more than 300-400 yards, you can work out some drops and pretty much know how high to hold over. Best of luck!! [/QUOTE]
