[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1289871, member: 95733"] Miker, mallardaddict, and gohring, thanks for your explanations of what is a practical explanation of how a SFP scope compares to a FFP scope in real world hunting applications. As I said any scope's reticle system I buy must be capable of being clearly seen and utilized in both close and long range while set at both the lowest and highest power settings. Although my longest shot at a animal, a 211 yard shot at a deer hardly qualifies as long range, I have however made many closer range shots in heavy woods where I literally had to so call "thread the needle" and make my shot through VERY small openings in the foliage, and on the other end of the spectrum I have had to make shots at very last legal light (read that to mean deer in shadow of the woods and the lowest shooting light that still affords a shot opportunity) with the deer tight to the woods only seconds from vanishing into them and I loosing my opportunity. It has become apparent to me that FOR MY specific style of hunting the best ALL AROUND choice for me will be a scope with a SFP reticle location, as this will allow me to be able to best make the closest and longest shots with in my scope (pun intended sorry) of capabilities. In short as gohring and others said and I now share their opinion the SFP is a better all around choice for me. Thanks to all for your great help and for the time you took to share your knowledge with me. DartonYager. [/QUOTE]
