So I heard about this and even though I have attended multiple LRTI / Tactical Real World Sniper Schools. I had never been taught this method even in advanced schools. So after hearing about it I talked to a few friends from different SOTIC, Corps Sniper Advanced School and a few others come to find out they were familiar with it. This method is to be used for quick snap shots and after about 500 rounds of playing with it. I have to say it works. I use Mil, FFP optics so I can't speak to using any other but I don't see why it wouldn't work if that's what you use.
You will need to create a marksmans report until you learn your distances per Mil (dot) half value to Dot etc.
Instead of zeroing crosshairs at say 100 ( I use different zeros depending on rifle)
Zero your top dot at 100 yards, then using your half value try for the 200 hundred. Etc etc this will allow you to practice hold over/ hold over without ever touching your turrets. I am not a great writer I am aware but I think I am getting my point across. With this method I have been able to mark 1000 yards but it has not been consistent. I do however slay 900 - 925 consistently. This for me anyway method is in no way a place to talk the groups that so many shooters chase. This is a combat application method ( as it was explained to me) after about 250 rounds I am happy to report all my contacts have been kill shots, not that I haven't had my share of fly by's due to wind but now that I have this method down I have started working on wind compensation and things are getting better. This is not for bench rest shooting or as put to me from a very good Army sniper friend of mine, method to be used on a high value target. I did take a buck this year using it.
If you have questions I will try to answer them. If I can't I will try to reach out to those in the know and get the answer. I hope you guys find this interesting and may even give it a try.
