You've just summarized why I prefer to use Dave's Aiming Method (DAM) over more complicated aiming systems like CTE/Pro1.
Aiming systems like CTE/Pro1 have generated dozens of threads and thousands of postings over the years. With everything that's been written about it, many people still don't understand how it works. You guys will be arguing over the nuances of CTE/Pro1 until the end of the world (which might come as soon as December 21, 2012, according to the Mayans).
DAM may not be the perfect aiming system but it does work extremely well and it is relatively easy to learn and use. IMO, I think we need to open some threads on DAM and get the word out there.
Just so you know, the mayan calendar didn't account for leap year, which was introduced after their prophecy was generated. Once you add in all those extra days, every 4 years dating back to Caesar, the world should have ended some time last year.
Now then, I believe the world might REALLY end if we manage to keep this thread close to on-topic and strife-free... Thanks to pretty much everyone for trying to add to the discussion, as opposed to slinging the "stuff". I'm not a CTEer, but I'm learning a lot in general, due to trying to follow the conversation.
