[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 605973, member: 4491"] i'm a believer that a beginner should follow the "KISS" system. that would be Keep It Simple Stupid. not making any statements about your intelligence, but just making the point that when you're starting out, try to keep things as easy as possible. as mentioned by others the variables that come into play as the distance increases are numerous. plus you shouldn't be shooting all that far, probably 6-700 max. when you start cranking turrets on a scope for different range impacts, you're asking a lot of that scope. not to mention the rifle/shooter system. my advice for beginners is to use the reticle for ranges out to 700. many of the reticles in quite a few scopes can be used very effectively for the first 6-700 yards. it's simpler and the variable of the scope not working right doesn't come into play. there's quite a learning curve to all of this but in the beginning you will be better off if you KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! everyone watched the best of the west and thinks i'll get me a setup like that and be shooting stuff in the next zip code next week. it's not as easy as it looks. take baby steps for a while and before you know it you'll be running with the big dogs!
