Here is another way of shooting using your reticle....2506....
I knew deer traveled a certain spot on a hillside across a large draw...up there one day i decided to shoot a spot on a large rock...i hit the rock maybe 10" low of the poa....i adjusted the scope power..holding the crosshair on the poa and the larger bottom post came to the poi.....it was 8 power i think....
Next time i went up that canyon and glassed over there the buck was standing within 10 yards of the rock...turned the power selector and shot..twice...the deer was dead on its feet...the second shot hit about 2" from first......rifle was sighted for 250 yards...the deer was standing at 450 yards...before he fell and slide down the hillside to the creek....made for a nice pack out.....
So while out shooting try some power selector changes to meet your range and you won't need the adj. turret.........although the further the target the less power of the scope to compensate for distance between poa and poi....
Kid shot at a rock with the 223 ar....hit a few inches low...told him to turn power selector to match the two points.....he blew that rock to pieces..time after time after time.....yes he shot a lot....that rock was 525 yards...7 power...top of bottom post....
