[QUOTE="Havanagunner, post: 344217, member: 21647"] Both the Bushnell and the Nikon are trusted names and good choices. You might find this artical on long Range shooting interesting.

I found the discussion on 1st focal plane interesting. With the scopes you are looking at, I would go with the 5 x 15 or the 4 x 16 over the 7 power. When I was young and hunting in Wyo where I grew up I can remember how my older brother had a 3 X 9 and would always have the scope turned up to 9 with a shot at deer within 100ft. All he could see was hair. With your bow hunting skills I can invision some shots in the Texas brush at close range and that the 7 power would not come in to handy. The Bushnell 5 X 15 is looking at 21 feet @ 100 yards on 5X and the Nikon 14 X 16 is looking at 25.2 feet @ 100 yards on 4X, where the 7 X 21 is only looking at 13.5 feet @ 100 yards on 7X.
