    What made you a great hunter? And other newbie questions.

    The greatest hunters Ive known were always curious. Whats over that next hill? Whats in the next drainage over? Next unit? Curiosity helps with perseverence when times get mentally tough. Successful hunters are cometely fine with "hiking with a gun" and those guys in my book are the great...

    What's the deal with CDS?

    I think I get it, but really dont understand why they would make a scope thats dials were in a different measure than the reticle subtensions. So I am also curious if anyone has a good reason for it. Wouldnt that just force you to think in both MOA and MIL? Whats the potential upside? As per...
