[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 242513, member: 2011"] Trueblue Got frustrated with too much work and w/Shawn's dad going out and shooting that buck and being back home in a couple of hours........so I took the afternoon and evening off and went up to my ambush spot. Visibility is to beyond 2K. Shooting distance is to 1120, as far as I've shot during practice. I have a Conquest 6.5-20 and do the click thing. There was plenty of time to get behind the gun and do some serious evaluations. One thing I verified is that 15X is plenty out to 1200 for big game and 10 would even be ok. Clicking for elevation (distance) is pretty straight forward. When it comes to clicking for wind I'm a little less certain. Wind will vary by 50% of the maximum with in seconds. As I played around it was easy to do the mental math for windage at any ranged distance. I am also quite comfortable with holding off for windage knowing what the wind speed is. Thus, the interest in the Huskemaw reticle. I think it would be easy to get used to. I also have no problem holding xxxx" of yote, deer or elk into the wind. I am pretty poor at remembering to return turrets to zero. In fact the windage turret remained at the setting I used the last time I shot. Probably would have caught it. But maybe not..... [/QUOTE]
