[QUOTE="Downrigger, post: 239335, member: 201"] Knowing your bullet drop is very important. Without knowing that you're guessing the entire time and that's no way to do it. Practice and actually shooting those ranges on large targets will teach you a lot. Or find a friend with a Chronograph to determine muzzle velocity and input the data with your zero range and that will get you close (technology on this has come a long ways). Ranging a deer should not take much time. If it does then you need to set up yourself better to do it faster. I have mine in an Alaska Guide chest pack and it is tethered to the pack. Grab, range, drop, shoot. Only thing faster in a handheld would be binocular with range finder. I should also mention I don't shoot at running deer often but wouldn't think of it if I felt I needed to range the deer first. Other option is Mil-Dot and learn how to range with that. [/QUOTE]
