Reticles: the culmination of human experience coupled with human imagination. Yet they perplex (not duplex) me.
Basically what are each good for?
And where do they let you down?
Seeing as there are dozens upon dozens, I'll keep this to the most common amongst sights I have been looking at.
So we have "4B", "4A", the Nikon BDC (which I understand), but then the likes of Duplex, and Heavy Duplex, "German No.4" and simple crosshairs.
So, in this thread I'd like one of two things from you:
Either tell me what you know about the relative merits of the reticles above and which tasks they excel at.
Or
Tell me about your own favourite reticles (with pictures if at all possible) if not listed above and why you chose it/them.
Or
Both of the above!
Shed some light on the art of aiming!!
