RE: Hold-over or gradiated reticles?
I've never used a tactical scope that required adjustment prior to the shot. Other than side paralax/focus adjustment.
I'm asking if an adjustment under hunting conditions (after determining range), has a significant effect on the time or lack thereof you have to make the actual kill shot. Do you hunt a little differently because of this, stand hunting...? Etc. Or maybe a better question is, do you find yourself not using certain hunting methods because it may take more time to adjust your equip?
I've always stayed away from one pin adjustable archery sites for the same reason, they take too long to calibrate at close range. But, maybe a turret adjustment on a scope is different? Maybe more like the reflex of sticking a piece of brass in your shirt pocket for reloading purposes rather than letting it hit he ground as you cycle for a second shot? Sometimes I do that sometimes not, depends on the situation.
