[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1303908, member: 10291"] Overall, judging the quality comes mostly with practice and experience. When I began hunting in Alberta years ago, I found that the larger body size of the mature whitetails and mule deer often made the racks look smaller and lighter then they actually were, particularly at long range. While it's not always possible due to position of the game and time restrains, I will use my MOA reticle to measure width and height off the main beam. Once in position with a sold rest, it's easier then it seems using a 20x scope, particularly if you have practiced the math and have established a go-no go criteria. A few years ago hunting Wyoming I had originally used my reticle to gauge this atypicall rack at 800 yards and decided to go for him based on the height of his rack using my reticle which was more then 2MOA tall. Passed on him at 800 due to poor wind conditions but got lucky and shot him two days later a little closer(652 yards) with a more manageable wind. Not my farthest kill, but a great hunt. [/QUOTE]
