[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 1415955, member: 1390"] I prefer FFP. With FFP, my tic marks for wind holds are valid no matter what magnification I am on. This was reinforced to me once when I was shooting a match with timed engagements. In my rush, I forgot to turn my scope up to max power. I was using a FFP scope, so I got the hit anyway. With a 2FP, I most definitely would have missed. Folks will argue that with 2FP, if shooting far enough to need to use your windage marks, you will have your scope turned up anyway. As happened with me above, that may not necessarily be the case. Additionally, many times it is desirable to not take the shot at max power so you have enough field of view to spot your shot in the recoil. FFP all the way for me. John [/QUOTE]
