I am curious if anybody here has experimented with using the span of the fine cross hairs to judge distance.
I played a little last weekend with my scope, and have come up with if the scope is set on 9X the fine wires measure 6.25 inches long at 100 yards and 25 inches long at 400 yards.
What this tells me is an elk with a chest that is smaller than the fine wire length is over 400 yards. I can also use fine wire length to judge bullet drop. Half the fine wire length is about the holdover at 400 yards for my load.
So far everything is checking out. Anybody have any notes to compare with this?
