Myself, i killed 2 deer this year using the cds turret. Both were ranged with a laser, then the cds dial set. It was easy for me. One was 123 yard, the other 173 yard. Setting the dial, aiming, and killing was as good as killing can be.
At the range, at least twice i have shot at 100 yard, then moved to 200 yard, shot and not hit paper because i forgot to twist the dial. Also, i have started at 200 yard, then moved to 270 yard, and forgot to twist the dial. Also, i have started at 200 yard, and forgot to twist the dial after moving into 100 yard.
Now after all these success/failure i am so happy the view in the scope has one aim point, clear of dots, circles, etc.
In my opinion the range engraved turret is absolutely perfect for muzzle loaders; far more valuable for muzzle loader shooters, than center fire shooters. In my opinion the engraved turrets will turn out to be a paradigm changing feature of scopes used by muzzle loader shooters.
