[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 612199, member: 10832"] [ATTACH]6416[/ATTACH] I bet the BOTW and Long Range Pursuit shows just drive you crazy huh? :D Again, I understand your skepticism. For over 20 years I did nothing but dial so I came at the reticle use from a similar perspective to you. I guess I would just say that with practice it becomes more intuitive than you think it would. Here is an example of a reticle style that would allow for accurate windage holds. [ATTACH]6417.vB[/ATTACH] It is Vortex's new reticle and seems very well setup to handle elevation and windage holds at the same time. I think your point is that you can still end up holding between the lines for both elevation and windage so you are still out in no-mans land even with this reticle. But my point would be that even in this scenario your mind gets good at using the stadia lines around the aim point as a bracketing type system that really locks your POA in place. As accurate as holding dead on, no I don't beleive it is. But is it accurate enough for big game hunting out to the 5-600 yard range? Yes, for me it is. HTH explain my craziness! Scot E. [/QUOTE]
