[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1950009, member: 29241"] I will admit that I am Jr. High level talking to college level, but I chose to go a different route. I do not like to ball park anything. If I am shooting at an animal at lengthy yardages, I don't shoot unless everything is right. So, I have a program that is for my bullet, my scope height and my velocity. I have used many scopes but have a NXS with fine cross hair with dot. I use a leica rangefinder and click my scope to the exact yardage and hold on, with a perfect clear sight picture. There are many good programs to choose, the one that I use is very accurate. I talked to a sniper and we were talking about this and he said they use the marks because they have to shoot quickly and don't need to be exact, a body hit from waist to neck is good enough. He said that in cases where there is time they also click to exact points. I have also used a scope with 1/8 minute clicks and prefer having "finer" adjustments. At 1000 yards 1 click makes a difference when using scope with 1/4 minute clicks. Guess I am just old school. [/QUOTE]
