I've always believed in returning to original zero after a shot is taken, not trying to calculate for a different shot from a changed zero. That is why zero stop scopes are especially useful in this regard-you can quickly return to original zero and then reset for a new distance as needed. All assuming that one does use the click method. Maybe that is why holdover is probably best.Speaking of FT use ONLY ... You address a target, get a range and then CLICK to get scope calibrated to that distance ... SHOOTWhen addressing the next target, get a range and then click again to that calibrated distance on turret.No need to Re-Zero because your correcting where clicked on every shot.if one were to Click in a FIELD USE set up, indeed you would want the gun to alway start out at the known Zero range and have ability to take a quick shot knowing where impact will be +/- within the ZR.If distance is radically inside or outside the ZR then click correction would be done for that shot and then returned to zero & repeated only as needed.Clearer
Sorry, Scott but it made no sense at all to me. I've always believed in returning to original zero after a shot is taken, not trying to calculate for a different shot from a changed zero.

Hold over/under and windage. All my scopes are MilDot, and I use a chart from Chairgun for help .....Cheers
So, then do tell me: (A) Do you all shoot only with first focal plane (FFP) scopes –(B) or do you all have and carry dope charts for each of the magnifications you use?
Being a back yard shooter? I find it's wasted time to adjust my scope by changing the settings once zeroed.I zero at 50 yards and know all my hold unders and overs for any given range from 10 yards out to 110 yards.I'm also pretty good at judging the winds. So I hold left or right as needed.Did you know the longest Sniper Kill on Record used Hold over/hold left Mil-Dots to complete the shot?
