As had been said here many times is that you simply range and use the appropiate crosshair and shoot. No turrets to turn. If the said animal was to suddenly run another 100 yds or whatever you would simply re-range and shoot-no turret to turn again. Correct???
Yessir, that's exactly how it works. Depending on your load, your reticle may be zero'd at 200 yards, and the 300 yard marker is actually zero'd for 312 yards, the 400 yard marker for 418 yards, the 500 yard marker for 502 yards, etc. The distances that each hash mark is zero'd for will change with the magnification.
