[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2936542, member: 3230"] Using your reticle to judge distance works to maybe 400, but after that, a one inch error in back to brisket on a 16 inch animal induces an error of just over 30 yards at 500, which will move just over half your bullets outside of a 10" vital area. The longest I ever killed an antelope was pre-LRF days - I had a custom reticle made by Precision Reticles and a customized Ranging 1000 monocular coincidence rangefinder. Estimated him at 460 (averaged the range with each), held for the wind, and put two shots in the lungs. Not sure it would have worked much farther, however. These days every guide has a RF (typically not great) but even when I do have a guide, I carry both my SIG Kilo 10K and SIG 2400ABS. [/QUOTE]
