[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1819844, member: 97414"] I was a sfp dude when I first bought one, one of the issues is that the hash lines only work on 1 setting or whatever power you choose to use when acquiring a target at X distance... This was fine and dandy when I was at the shooting range,,, not so much in the feild when the critters show up in a seconds notice... And yes the ffp retrical is small in the lower powers which makes it tricky seeing the lines,,, the trick to this is picking up the ffp reticle with illumination so you can adjust the light amplification depending on the lighting conditions out side... Max illumination in full day light,,, click it the other way for the least at dark,,, 10 to 12 settings so you don't get to much retrical light feed back... Ha... I'm a ffp optic shooter now,,, super fast target acquisition at the range and hunting... Its all personal preference,,, either you like ffp or sfp... Here's a simple link,,, check out a few to see what you like... The illumination ffp retricals works for me,,, all I need to know is that line X is always for this distance,,, XXY is that range,,, one less thing to think about when things are happening fast... If your interested in PRS,,, it might be worth your while going ffp since ranging targets is a lot of work especially if you need to dope the target then check the optic power to calculate which line is for what distance... Its to much for me when I can use ffp and know that each ranging line is for this or that distance... And again,,, take the time to check out the light-up reticle system,,, set on bright in the day light,,, crank it down in the dark evening skies,,, once you practic with them,,, you won't own anything but... Only you will get to decide which system you want... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2017/7/10/first-focal-plane-or-second-focal-plane/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
