How long is that going to take? If you are only talking 250 to 350 yards is it even worth it? If you are in a static location and have the time you can make a range card but if you have the time for that you can use a rangefinder and this is obviously not applicable in a lot of hunting situations.
Well said, and if you use a rangefinder/binoculars combo you range the animal as you identify it and decide if you are going to shoot it, so it takes no extra time in most
cases.
