[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5028780, member: 10399"] FF3 with the Burris 336 mount direct to the receiver. I was set up on a field edge fighting with a field turkey. There was a little rise in the field about 50 yards out and the field dropped off on the other side. Turkey was on the low side. He would come up to the rise just enough for me to see the white cap of his head, gobble a couple times, then drift back down. After the fourth time, I got impatient and decided I could crawl up to my side of the rise, gain 6 inches of elevation, and lay prone in the shin-high grass. Then next time he came up to his side of the rise, I could get a shot. I made it about halfway before he gobbled RIGHT over the crest. I froze then saw his head periscope over. All he had to do was pull his head down to disappear, so I couldn’t afford for him to get even a little nervous. I wasn’t up on my elbows like you should be shooting prone. I was on my forearms, basically laying on my gun. I just laid my head down right behind the sight, found the dot, and touched off the shot. Another cool thing about reflex sights, they are parallax free. So even if you are in terrible shooting posture, if you can find the dot and the target, you can hit it. But, the edge of that frame just above the lens is pretty sharp. So try to keep your forehead more than 3 inches behind it when possible. [/QUOTE]
