But to somebody who's never given it any thought it can be quite mind bending. I spent nearly half an hour trying to explain to my buddy that the disadvantage of using see-thru rings is that the scope is mounted higher which then increase the angle between crosshairs and bullet path...leading to more hold over. Drew pictures and everything! LOL

BTW, I don't think they're really is that much difference unless you got a long range setup. For practical woods use I would like them if they didn't introduce the other problem about getting a good cheek-weld. (for me at least)
