Questions on reticle function…

Hi guys, don’t beat me up too bad, but I have always wondered what purpose having a 20 or 30 mil reticle line above horizontal serves On a scope.
I have never used it.

thanks.

Well seeing as we all shoot rainbows and assume your zero is at say 500 , you may want to hold under to take that 100 yard shot …

Measuring for spotting and hold unders mostly

Thanks guys…. I guess when you’re turrets are set for 1500 or more, you would have to hold under for those close shots…..
