I just have to get this off my chest.

lol. Bunched panties alert. 

OK, all joking aside, the OP makes a good point.  Using the correct terminology does indeed improve our understanding of technical topics.  For less experienced marksmen, this can be very important.  Think of all the technical topics that are often misunderstood (ballistics in ammunition, or the difference between horsepower and torque).

And no pianoman9701, I'd have to be wearing panties to get them bunched.  Going commando today.

I got something to get off my chest too. I cannot stand when people hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3 , I mean come on people it has been 10 and 2 since the dark ages. How hard can it be. I thought this would go well in the "pettiest rant possible" thread.       carry on

Hey!  Start a new thread for your petty rant about 10 and 2. 

I knew I'd take some heat for the rant.  But hey, I've bit my tongue for years regarding the topic and my tongue was really starting to hurt so I thought I'd mention it.

I'm glad everyone can have some fun with it.

10 and 2?  i thought they changed that training recently in drivers ed or something???  i'll have to ask my teen sis-in-law again just for clarity?

Today's teens use the "10 or 2" guideline. One hand is needed for texting.

I'm not 100% sure but I think they changed it to 9&3 after airbags came around and people were breaking their arms across their foreheads.
A buddy ended up with a good lump and an imprint of his wedding ring in his forehead after his air bags deployed in an accident. It has been 15 years since I took drivers ed though.

I was taught 3 and 9 because the airbag had more chance of break in your wrists at 10 and 2. I usually drive at 12 and burger. Sometimes 10. though sometimes I drive 12 and 10x42. If road hunting Its usually none on the wheel and all on my 4x12-50. Or 4 2 12 buy56 rarely see or hear a heard of true spikes including eye guards.

Two hand driving rules don't apply to me, 'cause I only use one. I need the other for shifting!

[h20hunter]

If we are talking road hunting then I should chime in again. I've ofen rolled on my 235x55x18 with my hands at 10xbud and my eyes on my 6 for the 5xO and the .270 in reach topped with the said mentioned 3x9x40. You never know when a deer with some nice horns will jump out and need harvested!

I just use my knees. I need my hands for my beer and joint.

Easier if you just strap a little hookah to the corner of the bed. Then you can just pack it and run a snorkle into the cab through the slider. Duh.

Better write a letter to all those scope manufacturers so the technical aspect of your "by" issue can get solved.   

Start with the one's who use the 3x9x40.
Then you can hit up the ones who use 3-9x40.
Then you can do the thank you letters to the 3 by 9 by 40 manufacturers.  Which one's are they anyways?   

[Igottanewknee]

10 and 2, 3 and 9...... Great, something else to worry about. I'll be pondering this one for a while too..

[CAMPMEAT]

I hate all of your canted scopes too, every single one of them.......

I haven't seen a manufacturer use the x x x designation.  Maybe it's only the junk scopes that have that terminology?         Leupold, Bushnell, and Swaro do it the correct way.  hmmm....
