    Ardave, the process you mention is very good, it just wasn't an option in ebf first post in this thread where he asks a very specific question about two components.

    And to answer your question, yes your way is easier and often requires less ammo, less ammo used to get the desired poi at distance as a chrony will get you very close to poi with your first few shots
