LOL!

Never much cared for math beyond adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Guess I'm doomed as to LR shooting.

I'm not that good at math-Just ask Steve and he will tell you
\:D


But there are a number of ways that you can get good info before you ever head into the field in knowing how to accurately reticle rangefind a object with your reticle or know the subtension of your reticle.
Still to this day, Steve can go over my head in a heartbeat with math.

I was going to say the only cure was to sell all of his "fancy" scopes and replacing them with stock 3-9 X 40's. LOL

That's funny, that is the same scope I have on my 375 H&H rifle... a VXIII 6-20 50mm Long range target... (It was the best scope to put on my 375 at the time and it just stayed.)

All is not lost.
You could still determine the subtension from the crosshair juncture to the outer edge....
