[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1636429, member: 108965"] The scopes that are now available to us hunters weren't available a few decades ago. I grew up hunting mostly coues deer and Javelina using the old school kentuky windage and we had to know how to judge/guess distances by looking at trees and other things to get an idea, range finders weren't available back then. On these smaller game animals the MPBR circle is much smaller, say maybe 5 to 6 inches max, so still need to aim high a bit but not much, just a couple inches and you're good. My scopes all have hash marks and I know just which one to use say a 500 yard shot on a specific magnification setting. Can't use the same hash mark at 12x and 3x, good luck with that. This is something many hunters and shooters don't know. [/QUOTE]
