Thread: How do I set up and use a BRH (or BDC style) reticle?

Deer do not pop out at round number ranges so you will have to estimate between the dots anyway. For me I would do it in metres rather than yards but then I have spent the last 50 years working in metric.

@grandpamac it's a 3-10x power scope - if you are using the reticle dots/hashes you're are going to be on max power anyway so that's not an actual problem.
