Thread: 350m shots with 200m zero

Wondering if others with 200m zeros would dial for these distances even with capped turrets or just adjust point of aim? And if adjusting point of aim do you have set spots on the deer that you line up at certain distances?

Are you using a rangefinder or estimating distances?

Good oh. There's still a good number of hunters out there who don't and it makes quite a difference to the approach necessary. @Tahr s advice is very sound, but I would also do yourself up a wee drop chart to attach to the rifle, this saves "remembering" what to do when you're under pressure to make the shot.
