Hello,
I’ve bird hunted a bit but never big game. I’m new to scopes, and long shots. I don’t quite understand how to account for MOA and how to adjust my turret intuitively.
I can zero in at 50, 100, 200 just fine. But if a deer popped up at 276 yards and I was zeroed at 100 yards, I wouldn’t know what to do. How can I learn to use my scope intuitively?
My setup is a Tikka T3x in 6.5 creedmoor. I’m shooting ELDX in 143 grain. The scope is a leupold v3xi 3.5x10 40.
I really want to respect the animal I shoot at and not shoot blindly and hurt it and make it suffer without harvesting meat.
