Apparently you misread my question elk...I said how was it the wrong solution when it ended up with yardage indicated secondary reticles...not when it ended up with secondary reticles that weren't yardage indicated. In many cases it can compensate for too flat of a trajectory perfectly...in others not so much. You indicated that it was wrong regardless. I say it's not the best solution when it doesn't work but it sure seems to a viable one when it does....as I indicated.
