[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1006937, member: 54178"] Mark, My Horus H59 reticle is very easy to use [I]once you get accustomed to the method.[/I] Some say the reticle is "too busy" but it is actually the best I've seen for speed of a second shot [B]if [/B]you see where the 1st shot impacted. This reticle is better by a bunch than "turret turning" but the Bushnell ERS has great turrets when you need them - totally repeatable adjustments. Lou, For hunting I'm using my Bushnell 1 Mile ARC laser rangefinder binoculars. Good glass but not great however the ranging is excellent and the built-in ballistic software and readout gets me to "minute of deer". Wind, temperature and "station pressure" are up to me to calculate. But, for THE best firing solution I'm getting a Kestrel 4500 weather station with the Applied Ballistics software to account for ALL environmental conditions after I enter the range. That little gadget is fast and very accurate, far better than entering data with a stylus into a "ballistic computer". "Measuring the wind at only the shooter's position doesn't help much." Well Lou, ballistically speaking wind at the FFP is FAR more important than downrange wind. I'll have to take the Kestrel's advice, including FFP wind, until something better comes along. I always was terrible at wind calls until I only began paying attention to wind at MY position. [/QUOTE]
