But if I ever get the chance, I'm sending one with practiced confidence. I'll readily admit that the opportunity to take a far shot on stand are RARE. So I could hold off in the reticle & fire pretty stinkin' fast if I had to, or dial the rest of the way (also pretty quickly). With the FFP reticled scope I had on the gun, those #s work at ANY power range. (mils make these values easy enough to crunch for in between yardages) So any 'normal' shots are point-n-shoot flop jobs. That way, my point blank range is covered out to 250, where you know most coyotes are shot. With a good 100yd scope (turret) zero, I dialed 0.4mils UP to my 200yds zero and left it there for the beginning of every stand. Here's how I set up for any potential shots. I brought along a 1K capable rifle to Oklahoma while coyote hunting this spring, just for a goof. Mrad adjustments make that easy, as it is only two numbers. I usually know the dope for my rifle in my head, so don't even need to look at a dope card. Then a quick dial, or holdover and wait for the meat report That way I can guesstimate distance on the fly should a coyote show and 'hang up' in relation to one of them. Should note that I'll usually laser range landmarks on an Once you've practiced it, it don't take long at all. Also have done it by just holding over with the set substensions of the reticle. Surely, you've had a 'barker' giving you the dickens from across the valley or out on the sage flat? Prolly 400+ yds out? If you are lucky & spot them, they just don't leave so quickly & will even sometimes sit there & survey the situtaion before them, or be hoppin' on their forelegs & barkin' like a junk yard dog.Īnyhoo, I've found time to slip the LRF out to confirm the range, check the dope card, dial the elevation, dope & hold the wind & send one his way. If/when the rare opportunity arises that a coyote 'hangs up' waaay out there, there is usually time to 'dial him up'. I'm nowhere near the coyote hunter as you, but I beg to differ with you on your statement.
