    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Got one tonight with the old faithfull.Checked dairy farm then 2ks away checked run off,pest free ranch here. So went next door for a look seen a possom high up in a walnut tree.Could see the eyes from the shooting position but just had my headlamp on so Sean went back to bike to hit the spotlight but it wasn't needed as the bullet hit just above the eyes at 50 metres.....Sean reckons 15metres

    So Sean hasn't been corrupted by your tendency to substantially over estimate and measures in real metres then Dundee.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    So we now have a conversion factor (x3.3) for other makes of rangefinder to get them to read in "true" Dundee metres

    It would seem that way. @brad's has been converting Dundee metres for years. He could confirm.
