The weather is perfect, the winds almost non-existent, the sun is just coming up over the tower. This is where the butterflies start to fly, that calm before the storm.
We are only 1 day away from the start of the 2009 Sniper's Hide Cup down here at Rifles Only. Today we finished up the match Train - Up that started on Sunday afternoon. The shooters had some really great weather and heavy dose of the fundamentals of marksmanship in order to prepare them for the match.
Over the last 2 years we have seen a big increase in the number of scopes that offer their adjustments in Milliradian. I am personally a strong proponent of the use of Mil adjusted scopes with Mil based reticles. I find the graduations to be the right distance for both precision and tactical use, feeling we are all familiar enough with Mil Dot reticles to have a basis for understanding how to move forward with Milliradian based adjustments. The problem for most is the need to assign a value in the same way we assign a value to everything else in our lives.
