[QUOTE="ColoYooper, post: 1138786, member: 64765"] OK Mikecr, I'll type really slow so you can keep up. Yes in Tactical Competitions AND in Varmint hunting, it useful to be able to spot your misses, to maximize your hits. And yes, in order to observe those (infrequent) misses, one must employ very good shooting form, recoil reduced rifles and cartridges, and a scope magnification that doesn't limit the field of view that you and your rifle can reacquire in time to observe the infrequent miss. But that's half the problem. IN ADDITION, when shooting at distances that require a less than maximum zoom setting in order to observe that infrequent miss, it is beneficial to compute an observed high and low wind correction. I'll frequently dial the minimum wind correction, but the wind may pick up/ or die, the instant that the optimal shot presents itself, and I'll be able to use the hash marks in the reticle at the reduced magnification with a FFP scope to accurately hold off at my predetermined MIL offsets. So in Varmint hunting AND Tactical competitions, we are BOTH interested in making the maximum number of hits. [/QUOTE]
