I own a scope with a lot of references.
I mounted this scope to the FX Panthera Compact.
First I learned how much to compensate at 88 yards and later on how much at 190 yards.
Then I decided to try a formula to get to know how much to compensate knowing the distance after a measure with the range finder.
What I learned is that dis-acceleration increases need of compensation: ratio at 77 yards of 0.1 vs ratio at 190 yards of 0.135.
Then I decided to create four blocks of formulas for four ranges 50 to 80, 90 to 110, 120 to 140 and 150 to 190.
After a measure with the range finder I insert the distance in the closer applicable formula and get how many compensation in that scope is needed.
The result is much more close than my previous instinctive/memory one I use to apply for compensation.
Well many of you would tell me that there's a software that you can feed and that gives you a number. Yes, I know.
The difference with this new way I am applying since yesterday is that is a tailor made for specific scope already mounted on an specific rifle. All truth an empirical.
I am anxious to go hunting and applying the formula and see results.
