Second that. When I first started using night vision, range estimation took a bit of time getting used to. I drew a bunny sized target on a piece of white card and marked out various ranges and practised at each range to help get used to the size of a rabbit's head. I took note of the number of mildots wide the head was at each distance using my chosen magnification. I practise and zero before I start shooting rabbits each night so it's fresh in my mind - works well.
