Rifle Scopes Nikon Spon On Ballistic Data

[Ballistic Archer]

Gents,

I am curious as to if any of you have used and what results you have had from Nikon's Spot On program. I have 2 Nikons, a 4.5-14X40mm mil-dot and a 6-18X40mm BDC and my range testing with a 100yd zero out to 350 yds has shown the numbers to be accurate. I hope to do some long range testing soon but shooting past 350 in this area is tough to setup until crops are out of the ag fields and there are no shooting ranges longer than 300 within driving distance.

So my question is, at extended ranges have any of you used this program and what have been the results. So far I am pleased with it but wonder about its accuracy at extended range.

Your thoughts are welcome.

Have a good one.

BA

I've used it up to about 450 yards and so far I really like it. The numbers seem pretty accurate. I've found what it tells me for the BDC reticle to be off though, not because of the elevation, but because of the wind, and having to adjust the windage. So instead of using the BDC reticle, I just dial my scope in, and I've found their numbers to be very close.

Slow,

Thanks for the feedback, your experience sounds pretty much like mine. I havent really been able to check wind as my Kestrel hasnt shown anything over 6 mph when I have gone shooting. I will have to try to get out on a windy day and check it.
