I've put together the beginnings of an application that will:
There are two targets: an elk and up the hill off to the right below the trees is an 18" square. Test your ranging ability and let me know how far you think they are. http://stonetip.com/milranger/ |

Is the elk sized for us to reticle range it as well?
Box is 450 yards-My guess |

The elk is also sized to range...although I'd be a little more lenient on that since they do vary in size (not to mention sub-species).

I also added a set of buttons for fine-tuning the reticle position. Once you get close with the mouse, if needed you can move in finer increments with those.

The fine-tuning button is now a control that allows you to move diagonally as well.

I never hunted Elk so not totally sure of the body size but guess around 20-24" top of back to bottom of belly range about 220-230 yards.
Still have to figure out how to get the box in the cross hairs.

The box is 399.9 yds away. OK, I'll just call it 400.
The elk is too close to screw around ranging him--shoot! |

I estimate 145 yds to the elk give or take 10 and 340 yds to the square.
|
|
How can we call it unalienable when we allow it to be suspended revoked or restricted?
