I put my homemade targets to the test. If you missed the video where I showed how I made them, follow this link: www.youtube.com I set targets out at random distances, and used the mil dot ranging system to determine distance and holdover. This two-part series is a simple tutorial about how to use the mil dot reticle to determine distance to your target. For more complicated tutorials, visit my channel page. There you will find a three-part series on determining windage and holdover, while hunting pigeons in a very high (25 mph) wind. Equipment Details: The Camera Mount I used to record through the scope can be found here: www.amazon.com The slow-motion camera I use to film the shots through the scope is the Casio EX-FC150. That camera is no longer made, but you can buy its successor (which is actually a better camera than the one I use) here: www.amazon.com The Exact same Hawke Scope that I use in this video (Sidewinder TAC 30 6.5-20x) can be found here: www.amazon.com
