[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 428342, member: 21068"] [I]Ok maybe your right it just seem that the big deal is to have a great ES before you can shoot long range. So if you can hit small targets out to the desired range then there is no need to find the ES and SD?[/I] You hit the nail right on the head there buddy! If you're hitting them consistantly, shot after shot, then the ES is low enough that it doesn't really matter what exactly it is. If you hit once, then miss low once, then hit again, then miss high the next time............you may want to check your ES. I am glad to hear that someone's actually practicing and shooting on small targets at the distance they plan on hunting big targets before they try it....................In contrast to using the chrony and ballistic software as a substitute for it. I often wonder how many folks really put in the range time and proper "homework" before the hunt.
