It sure would be nice if the reticle was a post instead of a crosshair. Then one could use a 6 o'clock hold, with i believe, good success. Decided a while ago not to try a 6 o'clock hold with the crosshair. No, i wasn't holding over, what i was trying to do was center the crosshair on the jug, but i believe i failed. Covering the target with the crosshair leaves a lot to be desired.
I only made the one shot, had no more jugs. My plan was to shoot paper, and try and get some verification of impact. When i arrived up there, it was so windy, and inconsistent, i didn't feel like risking the target frame with a blown bullet.
