Thread: Holdover Reticles

i used to hold over using reticle but now dial, find it a lot more accurate and a lot less misses. assuming you have all the correct data then it is the best option i think. i zero at 200 yards so i can still take a quick shot out to 300 if need be without dialing. anything past that or if i have time inside that i will dial.
just brought an Arken EPL-4 and it does not have a zero lock, but it has a large marking showing zero so i find it easy to quickly look at that before i shoot to double check it has not moved. no issues as yet although a zero lock would be nice. cheers

The little hex screw on the top of the Arken EPL-4 turret is the zero stop.
