[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 241520, member: 10379"] Longshot38, The errors add up though. If you and your gun can shoot .5 MOA, and you are off nearly 1 MOA on your drop calc, and you have some error reading the wind say .25 MOA (if you're good), and your scope clicks are .25 MOA spacing, it can all add up to a miss or bad shot. .5 + .9 +.25 + .25 +??? >= 1.9 MOA circle of accuracy. For me, it's important to minimize all possible errors so you have the highest probability of clean kill shot. The drop calc is the easiest variable to get right. This gives you more room for error with the other factors. I think it's more important to get it right when shooting animals than shooting a match because of what's at stake. Paul Stimac [/QUOTE]
