I've got a ATACR in the mail to me with this piece of magic in it. Very eager to put it to the test, anyone on here have any hands on experience with it, actually put to test the wind dots?

Just dial to the nearest .5 mil or full mil and hold the rest. Then you can still use the wind dots extremely precisely. So if its 1.7 mils to hit target, dial .2 and hold 1.5.
Lots of people who know would debate this title... he's a very good salesman we can all agree on that, not much else.
The T3 came about because the T2 was a complete failure, unfortunately it takes a while for the spell and the shine to wear off, those Ah Shucks are tricky, and with enough fog, it's hard to see the truth.
It works in some cases, but not in others, if we deployed to South America, the Philippines, or place with a lot of vegetation the Tremor and Horus would quickly be found to be lacking. As long as we fight in theses dry places they will continue to fool people into thinking the are the answer... but trust me, you can learn to do the same thing just as fast with any reticle without the clutter, or confusion.
It's bad for marksmanship, it's bad for wet or places with a lot of vegetation, it's bad when people expect one result and they don't get it, but otherwise it's just mils, and we all know mils work.
A Good Salesman, a few favors to the right people, and anything can seem like magic. But trust me, it's not what it appears, like all magic misdirection is a big part of the trick.

He is a good salesman, and he's a hell of a lot better behind a rifle than I am. I think what appeals to me most is the apparent ease of use of his system. Like I said before I'm no pro shooter, but his system seems to offer me the capability to make some shots that otherwise I wouldn't be able to take without running the numbers in a ballistic calculator. I'll try it out and if I find it lacking I can always switch back to one of my other reticles. Even if the wind dots aren't for me, I can still use the underlying H59 with the calculator. I'm assuming you've got a boatload more experience than I do behind a precision rifle and don't need the fancy dots to make shots, lol.
Real Clever. How is that working for you?Just heard IOR is coming out with a TREMOR3 reticle scope. Going to be a game changer.
Love my T3 reticle. I don't care how Frank or anyone else feels about it, because Frankly I don't give a shit. It was purchased with my hard earned money and works for me.
Seriously though, I like it and until something else comes along that is a bit more simple and less cluttered that has quick reference marks for wind similar to the T3's dots I will continue to use it. On a side note I am a scope dialer at heart. Something about dialing in elevation and wind to make a first round impact gets me harder than a 6am morning wood.
The problem with the T3 reticle is, if you Dial, you change the wind dot values ...
You do realize these are like a BDC (which we all know what that means) the Dots are not fixed if you dial more than 5 Mils of elevation, that is about 700 yards.
This is the problem with the T-Horus stuff on the whole, the farther out you go, the more the accuracy deviates. You start to hit the edges of the scope where distortion exists, you start to compromise your cheek weld to adjust your eyes to get on targets. If you say, we'll I will just dial you start to change the values of the wind holds ...
So please explain to me where the speed or benefit is ? Inside 700 i can do the same thing from a 100 year zero with just about any reticle, I don' t need the grid or the dots. It's not a game changer, not a verified winner, it just is... yes mils work, we know that, but it's really about training. The Horus is a good reticle to teach people on so they visualize it, but once they get it, some less cluttered is better. No too insult anyone using it, but it was always considered the lowest common denominator choice out there. The owner designed it that way, he had too much money, traveled around the world shooting big game, and didn't feel the need to practice... enter the Horus.
Real Clever. How is that working for you?
Yup. That's the biggest thing that turned me off of the Magpul DVD. Aside from Caylen's segment it was nothing more than a huge infomercial for Horus.

I still anyone else having fits getting Jacob's video to play? I'm now at attempt 25, minimum,and the farthest I've made it is about 5:30 or so into it. Most of the time it won't load at all. Anyone have a different link I could try?
I was having the same issue earlier but I just let it buffer in the background. It appears to be good now.
Never run into this particular issue before: if I click on the video it instantly drops me to the bottom of the page. Anytime I touch the video link it does the same thing. I have to enlarge it to full screen instantly and then pray it loads. Thus far it has failed to load at all well over 20 times and has only partially loaded another 10 times or so. Part of that may just be BS Internet, but the fact that it keeps booting me off the video link makes me wonder what compatibility issue or whatever I may have going on.
Perhaps it's that damn voodoo we're talking about.
No, not at all. That's the point of the video and what Jacob is stressing. It's simply the bullet path versus line of sight at certain distances. Nothing crazy, nothing secret. It's just a simple understanding of math and ballistics. The secret "formula" everyone boasts is not that secret at all for paper solving. It's a piece of cake on virtually any electronic ballistic solver.
Weird. I am using Safari at the moment. I was using Firefox earlier. What does it do for you in a different browser? Chrome perhaps...
But speaking of VOODOO... and this is important because this video I pulled out is from Rifles Only, we shot this around 2010, 2011 time frame and Jacob specifically mentions Voodoo, and this was as direct response to this idea what was being promoted was magic. In fact I had the FBI called on me by T.H. over this stuff... fact. I recently saw that agent at Shot show and he agreed with me after all this was said and done.
No Voodoo ... trust me.
