[QUOTE="Broz, post: 415266, member: 7503"] I dial wind unless it is close... like 500 or so. I am not into hurry up fast long range shots on game. Ha ha.. another old saying comes to mind. "Rather have a slow hit than a fast miss" So this is probably why my method has worked so well for me. As for the point of aim. I never plan to shoot a group at an animal but I do feel the "larger target smaller reticle" is a valuable thing for my shot placement. I shoot a lot af antelope at long distances. Have taken several over 800 yards. If you have ever shot an antelope you know how hard it is to not ruin a shoulder and still keep from getting in the salad. Just not much room between the shoulder and diaphram. But that nice white corner pattern of hair was put there for a reason. If you center your crsshairs right on the corner, and wait for the goat to be perfectly square to you, all you loose are ribs, and no tossed salad all over your loins and straps. I do not feel this would be as easy at 800 plus with fat cross hairs. Just my personal preferance and it works for me. Jeff [/QUOTE]
