[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 162934, member: 1"] Let me play devil's advocate here. I have absolutely no experience in ranging animals with a reticle. But I have often wondered. What happens at 500 to 700 yards or so, if the animal's chest dimension is actually 10% more (or less) in vertical dimension than you assume it is? Or what happens if in your excitement (or poor light) you judge the size of the animals chest correctly (not likely), but you mis-read the subtension of the reticle by 10 percent? Can someone please run the math and tell me where the bullet impacts? [/QUOTE]
