[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2417900, member: 83259"] Check out the Precision rifle blog article “How much does accurate ranging matter” Cal goes into pretty good depth on what margin of error is doable for a very practiced shooter when it comes to miling accuracy. Then add in that no animal is actually known size, between 15” and 18” is a huge difference. With my normal elk rifle at 1000 yards a 15 yard ranging error is 9.3” of impact error. That’s a tiny bit less then a .01 error which the average experienced shooter can mil within .05 accuracy. So 9.3 inches of impact error would be 5 times better then the average Scout Sniper can do. I’m not saying It’s not a useful skill, but taking shots at living breathing animals with how much error is all but built in it’s not something I’m going to do. On the range or battlefield is a totally different ballgame. [/QUOTE]
