[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 79488, member: 1007"] If you know the targets size mildots can be highly accurate. Lasers are the BEST. I periodically practice ranging with my mil dot on dall sheep and seem to come up with a 25 yard error out to 750 yards. Thats not bad. That will get you real close. Lasers are closest though, ussualy +/- 1 or 2 yards. Dont be afraid to use both methods. Practice with the mildot for when your LRF takes a dump on you in the field, or your battary goes dead and you forgot a new one. A mil dot with some practice may meen the differance between success and....... Dall sheep = 18" from back to belly. 27.778*18 = 500 500/mil take up = yards (1 mil = 500 yards, 2 mils = 250 yards, 1/2 mil = 1000 yards ect...) [/QUOTE]
