Well, I guess if you are carrying a rangefinder, level, barometer, thermometer, anemometer, calculating cosines, coriolis, etc; would it really be that big a deal to carry a set of caps and swap that out?

Don't forget your Dowsing branch!  :chuckle:
Dang it. I thought I put those caps in with the other ranging stuff....

HORUS reticle make all this a moot point.

I had to google that. Is that a bad thing?
It appears to be way over my pay grade.

I do.

They are fantastic for multiple targets at unknown distance.

It doesn't take long before the grid system seems to disappear. I really don't notice it anymore.

Oh I don't think they suck. I just think it would take me a lifetime to figure out how to work it.
