Optimal trajectory setting - please explain

Sorry for the late reply. Been out skiing. On phone now, so difficult to read and answer, but will try.

Post #20 by Wapiti1/ Jeremy hits the mark with his assessment.
Laser + Aim Long/Aim Short is the technique.
I use this here

I didn't have the option of segregating the reticle features into seperate product lines. The ranging features have no place for hunting IMHO. It is scenario A in #15 plus the laser in #17 that gives the response time. You can focus on situation/tracking/positive ID which gives you the right deer, rather than fuddling the opportunity away with ballistic details. When you do this in real life, you'll see how much of the reticle gap that can be placed on the vitals. If deer is eyeballed to 2/3 to AIM LONG terrain reference point, aim 2/3 to AIM LONG in reticle. This technique reliably hits the vitals. If I remember correctly (this was filmed a few years back), the large rock seen in the film was the cut-off point both for bullet backdrop and range.

#15:
Dimensions are correct.
The square is a military killbox. If hostile torso fits the box, shoot. If hostile is smaller than box, aim long. If hostile is bigger than box, aim short. Designed for combat shooting where exposure is short.

#16:
"Middle dial offer different". Sorry, I did not understand the question. English is a secondary language to me. (Norwegian).

Thank you this makes sense now. Will give this a try at the range tomorrow!
 
@THLR thanks much. I was able to increase my speed at accurately engaging targets between 300-500M with your technique for aim long/short and using your wind hold for light or medium wind call I got first round hits out to 800M without even checking my kestrel. I will put this to good use over the summer in advance of next season.

Great!
Thanks for that, hearing how others cherrypick and implement to make their own success is a huge motivation factor for me in making those films.
