Hey guys, I have a few questions for yall.
I am in the market for some cards to help estimate distance, holdover, and windage. (Angle is not really a great factor).
The two systems I have my crosshairs on are:
1) MILDOT MASTER
1) SNIPER FLASH CARDS
At first the MILDOT MASTER was the one that caught my attention. But after coming across the SNIOPER FLASH CARD website, I am having doubts.
I totally agree with the reasoning behind the SNIPER FLASH CARDS (using angles [MOA] instead of yards and inches), but then again, there's weaknesses in this system as well.
You see, the SNIPER FLASH CARD guy says that the MILDOT MASTER has a few flaws. (Losing sight of the taget while operating the slide rule, giving away your position if you need to illuminate the card to use it, etc...).
But I've noticed something. The SNIPER FLASH CARDS also have a HUGE flaw. From what I gather, there are over 50 (FIFTY) cards in their system. And that means that you will be placed in two different positions:
1) Having to memorize all the flash cards. (Which can be a nightmare if you need to recall some information in a stressful situation).
2) Or worst...having to carry over FIFTY cards while out in the field. (Can you imagine the disaster that may happen with this scenario)?
Anyhoo...they both seem to have their strengths and weaknesses.
But here's my question, does anyone have any experience with both of these systems that can give a FIRST-HAND comparison on these two systems? I would like to know a bit more about these SNIPER FLASH CARDS. (No guessing or "I believe" please. Don't waste my time).
I have found many references to the MILDOT MASTER, but since I have been scouring the internet for reviews of the SNIPER FLASH CARDS...I have found nothing.
Once again, information on the SNIPER FLASH CARDS would be appreciated.
Thanks folks!
