[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2242805, member: 12443"] Well i believe the Abrams tank is military hardware?lol You see, serious hunters are either doing it or thinking about doing it on a year round basis. By and large they dont just go wandering about looking for a target. They have specific places they go to hunt, and once there they stay there till the day ends. Sorta like a guy who sits on the same stump on the edge of a swamp every day, or another guy who prefers sitting in trees. When the leaves drop to the ground as they do each fall, the serious guys take their 15# rengefinders to those hunting locations and range a bunch of things like say rocks or certain trees. Rocks and trees as a rule dont move around very much, so whatever the range is today, is apt to be the same say 10 years from now. A record is made of all those targets so that when say a deer is spotted close to one of them we pretty much know how far it is without any rangefinder. And you know what, it dosent need to be the precise number anyway. Now we all know the dirty little secret about lazers not always showing up for work every day, so that system might be a good idea even for those. An even better system is to shoot at the targets and make note of that information also. You see when hunting, time is everything, even a few seconds might mean wether you get a shot or you dont. As for the wind, best to evaluate that when you first arrive, and if its bad just go someplace else where it isnt. That guy with the beard in the video wont be sounding quite as intelligent when he is up to the plate with the wind blowing as hard as he is. [/QUOTE]
