I was referring to the use of the tree on an unknown distance target.

My neighbor never stood still long enough in a position that I could use the stadia on.
Maybe it works better in combat, but it didn't work for me on anti yard work duties.

I agree that without a range finder using the reticle to range is not easy and its a skill that takes time. However that does not make a BDC reticle useless. I suppose it depends on your application.
