I have a TA31F and I like it except for 1 thing. I've found the chevron reticle isn't the best for trying to do more precise shots at 200m. 100m and 300m shots are fine since I use either the tip of the chevron or the tip of the post, but the 200m POA is the area where the chevron's inner legs meet:

Since the chevron covers the top half of the target area, it tends to obscure smaller targets, like clays. It really gets bad when there's a lot of sun and the chevron blooms.
I started looking at other ACOG reticles and I noticed the TA01 has a more traditional cross hair reticle. Does anyone have any thoughts on the TA01 reticle? Does it work better for smaller targets at 200m than the TA31F reticle? Or maybe I'm just using the TA31F reticle wrong at 200m?
