[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 719297, member: 41338"] What Broz said about different sized deer is absolutely correct. I've seen some deer the size of small elk. Because they are not a known size to start with, ranging them with your reticle is just a guess but I don't see any reason why a person shouldn't practice it a bit for when your range finder craps out, your horse steps on your pack or you hand it to a buddy and next thing you know, it's rolling down the mountain. FFP can be helpful in tactical scenarios when sitting behind a scope and needing to maintain a field of view to pick up other potential targets and calling out numbers to your partner with as little interaction with your power ring as possible. Virtually little or none of which applies to hunting. I have a couple FFP's and they're not making enough of a difference to made much matter. A slightly lesser magnification appears to remove hand shake but since I mostly have a range finder, it doesn't really matter. Bottom line... if the critter is close, just shoot it and if its not close, use your range finder. [/QUOTE]
