How accurate do you have to be on your yardage guestimate for it to be effective? How close is close enough for yardage?
Ok, here's my thoughts. It's the load you helped me develop. Being a 6.5 I figured my kill range is limited, plus I don't see any reason to change bullets, and I only hunt on familiar property. I'm not big on Gizmo's and doo-dads. Would I need to range my shots first? I don't sit and wait hunt, it's more of a shot of opportunity.
Not quite sure I understand what you mean?
Range, dial, & shoot. It will get you close enough if you gave them good data for the dial.
For instance, I have a Ridgeline I've taken a lot of game off of. It runs from 215 yds to 260yds with about 60' elevation change. When you set the dial how close do you have to be for yardage?
Ballistic Rangefinder accurate for me...
Set it at 225 and you would’ve fine there is likley less than an inch difference in that short of a distance. I would just verify, but for a hog there is a lot of room for error in its kill zone.
Hogs are easy. Less than 200 yds it goes in the ear. Over 200 I put it just behind the front shoulder about 1/3 way down from the top line. All have been a single shot drop up to 275 lbs.
You guys are too smart for me. I don't know what that means? Gimme a break, I'm old and don't like chasing wounded game.
