Definitely.

That's been my experience. Rather, my sister's experience. I helped her take down a long coveted buck at 221 yards on opening morning of muzzleloader season after testing the Pro Hunter's ballistics, ranging the deer, and telling her which BDC circle to use at that distance. I wouldn't have let her taken the shot if the wind had picked up, though.
