[QUOTE="T3-OleMan, post: 661113, member: 14600"] Agreed, with both of you. I spent 8 hours (with interruptions-Thur & Fri) running ALL the different yardages, temps, elevations and averaged station pressures for any shot I might have to take ref the 'one bullet trick'.:) I have done a hell of a lot of work for just a 2 < 5 % opportunity. But, if I ain't ready I shouldn't be there. 95 to 98% of my shots will be 'black forrest' with small openings 50yds to 250yds but being 70 I may not be able to climb up that Mt. But once or twice on the hunt. Therefore, in another area 30 miles away, I'll be ready for some oldtimer sit and move, sit and move, sit and move on a 4 mile spine where I can see 1,000yds a lot of the time. I made a management decision on my scope choice to cover the 95 to 98% of shot types, i.e. the Rapid Z 800 for jump shots at 6X to times when I might can range it, set the power to Optimum Power, from my charts and fire within ten seconds. I know it WILL NOT EVER be as accurate as DIAL-UP systems, I don't have good long range PUBLIC areas to hunt so it is perfect for me @ < 8 lbs total.
