do any of you guys use the point blank sight in system ? 


 


In a way. I sight in about an inch high at 100. Since I don't have a laser to verify the range I'm shooting, it's always a guess once they're out about 200 yards anyway, so I take a guess and hold over.

If I was using a laser, I'd sight dead on at 100 and use a come-up chart.  /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

Some people are real accurate at eyeballing range, I'm not.

I can prove it,too.  /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif




 After many years of playing golf for a living, I thought I was good at eyeballing yardages too.......Yeah, not so much /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif. In the last few years my newest hobby has become firearms and I now have a new found respect for what my caddie actually did /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. I learned this hard lesson when I called in a coyote that would NOT come out of a tree line that was on the opposite side of a food plot that I had made my stand. I said to myself "Self...that is about 400 yds." made my come up and fired. It ran off of-course, and later I came back with my LRF and ranged from where I was laying to a tree the coyote was sitting next to. It was 538 yards from me to that coyote. Lesson learned, but I have made that very shot on that food plot more than a few times since.....missed it a few times too!


 Edited to add caliber used: It was a .308, I would not take a shot at that distance with a "Varmint" caliber.
