secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 It is harder with NV, which is why it is useful to have range markers dotted about! Good shooting though! Quote Link to post

I take it 60 paces wasn't 60 meters? It's really hard to range find at night as you know, I set my mag on 6 and compare the rabbits size to mil dots, but I still get it wrong sometimes though.
