[QUOTE="CAM, post: 150538, member: 330"] SamSpade quote "So far all I have heard is some pretty weak arguments against it?" I don't think anybody cares how you use your scope, just telling you what has happened to them. Some of us live in the mountains! what good is your chart for 800 yards with 30 deg slope?? or maybe go from 6K to 10K hunting elk?? or 80deg to 30deg?? First light or neer dark, Sun popping over the horizon, you get the point! Your not the first one to try every possibly way to have the right dot or mark or click or better mouse trap, thats why there are so many different reticules and scope combo's on the market. I missed a bear @ 300 yards messing with the scope power believe me it's not "weak" and it's not brain surgery, Sh!t happens! If it works for you use it!!! I can go to 1200 yards and never mess with the knobs or power setting and when its on a slope still no need to crank on any thing! but this system also has its down falls! You say your looking for a better way, more accurate! but you are settling for set points in a changing world. it will work as well as any set point, on any scope and might even save you some time, then again it might cost you your animal! The shorter the distance the better it will work for you, when you out grow it or miss or want a better way again you will be back to square one. Have you verified the power changes? how much will it change if your off the true power by a smidgon? I think it will work better for big game than for PD's Some scopes change POI with a power change have you checked yours? It's all fun and games untill you miss [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] CAM [/QUOTE]
