The stadium line or thick ones on the outside to be approx .6 good for ranging
Now I have taken a coyote decoy and placed it at known ranges and ranged it to see what the mills were in reference to a 12” chest on a coyote and found it to be with this scope, tuff to range at night on the fly but find this gets me in the fur, my only problem is hogs come in so many sizes its hard to figure
1.mill =300 yards
.8 = 400 yards
.4 = 500 yards
.3 = 600 yards
On my trip with Tony T this worked well ranging at night ranging them the whole time they were on the way in so when they hung up I had a pretty good idea, but we did run into that pup that we all thought was 250 and full size coyote, as he was just over a mill thick, first shot missed high, took him on the run thinking I had just made a he11 of a running 250 yard shot only to pace it off at 150, and a pup not as thick as my 20 rd mag
That Thermal sure does show the WARM milk on that puppies mouth, did you happen to see it's mother? Or was it feeding the other babies?
Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
