Oh dear is right. I looked at it for a minute or two and decided my sock drawer needed to be arranged, couldn't wait.
Good hunting. El Bee

Shooting coyotes on another planet? Turning knobs on the Hubble telescope? All I got out of the link was a picture of deep space......

I'd be half way to the next stand before I got all that stuff figured out. I have a headache just looking at it.

I've always been fairly proficient at math. My last grade dropped to a B in calculus but she was the worse teacher ever IMHO. I also own a Mil Dot scope that I would like to exploit for S&Gs. Not that I would use it at such ranges but I've always liked the idea of a simple ranging system. The problem I see with mil dots is the assumption that a man is 19" wide or 6 foot tall. With the above said I will play with this to get better at it someday.
Thanks for the link

Stop thinking in inches, and the math becomes easy.
For instance:
Instead of thinking a coyote's avg. back to brisket measurement is 8", consider it is 2.2mils @ 100yds.
@ 200 yds, that same coyote would subtend 1.1 mils
@ 300yds, it'd subtend ~0.5mils
@ 400yds, it'd subtend ~0.25mils
Follow the math?
Double the distance, half the reticle subtension.
The hardest thing to do is to quit quantifying your target in INCHES. If you start out using a mil value, the math all falls into place...
Too bad we ain't learned up on measuring in meters, that is a base 10 system, same as miliradians. So, the math becomes even more simplistic!
Instead of calling a man's width 19", use 48cm.
Base 10 math is easy schmeasy to do in your head...
Anymore, all ya need these days in the field is a LRF and a proven dope chart. Range the critter, dial the dope and kill that fucker!
But, if ya ain't got time to range, or don't want to bother, just refer to the values I wrote above. If you only used that, you'd be able to extrapolate a broadside standing coyote's distance pretty quickly by simply bracketing it in your mil-based reticle. Not perfect science, but it should give you more info than if you were only swaggin' the distance...
