[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 20319, member: 25"] SS, This might sound hokey but here is how I check mildot spacings at 100 yards. I found an old plastic mop-handle, it happens to be a bright blue color. I took electricians tape and wound a 3.6" section, measured 3.6" again then started another 3.6" taped section and continued this. I just stand the handle up at 100 yards and we can place the bottom post on the bottom of the first black section, the dots hit the spacings or if they are not accurate they miss them. Looks a bit like a blue and black barber pole. A person could do this easily with other spacings, black and a contrasting color on a pole would work good. I also made heavy black bars spaced at 3.6" on a piece of cardboard and posted it at 100 but the blue/black handle works better. [/QUOTE]
