And of coarse the (target) will most likely also be at a KNOWN DISTANCE, like say 1000 yds.
So in actuality its showing you how to get the bullet from point A to point B on a (target) by using the reticle.
At least thats where the video was when i shut it down.
Listen, anybody who wants to take the very few days they (might) get each year hunting, and rely on this type B S is just fine with me.
Take it to the bank that as for (hunting) thats just what it is, B S.
My offer remains open for anybody really interested in finding out for them selves first hand.
We can run thru some (virtual) hunting scenarios while wearing t shirts.
As for dialing MS50, most experienced hunters wont be dialing for follow up shots unless it was a wide margin miss or theres been a significent distance change between shots.
And even that might vary depending on the distance involved or the possibility of a tree branch stepping into the bullet path.
Problem here to a large degree is that (theory) is being used in an attempt to overcome the lack of on the job experience.
Look ignore everything ive said, most will anyway. Call Euro Optics who sell only the best of optics. Ask to talk with Jason Baney who runs the sales dept.
He also runs the 6 BR website. Tell him your interested in starting long range shooting/hunting and your interested in obtaining a scope
with a reticle you can both shoot well and range game with also. They sell Vortex also and nobody would be more knowledgable than he would be
to discuss this with. Including the guy in the video.
BarrelNuts, Driftwood would be about a 5 hr drive from the Philly airport. Pittsburg would be about 1 1/2 hrs closer.
If you can arrainge some time you would be welcome to come. I would simply show you the various equiptment we use and how we use it.
Then you can use it and judge for yourself. I will make one prediction, within a few hours you will change your mind pertaining to what
you now know or think you know about long range hunting. And you will do that all on your own with no preaching or teaching on my part.
If you can shoot a one inch group you will hit 1000 yd rocks with a gun you never shot before and laugh over how easy it was.
I will hand you a gun and have you hit rocks first shot without touching the scope. And its about a 30 year old scope. Again, you will do it not me.
How about offhand, are you ready for that?
Bring your scope, i'll furnish everything else including the beverages.
