[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1713151, member: 42494"] Here's a graphic I made for our hunting club that may help you understand 1st vs 2nd Focal planes. As said above numerous times, the thin reticle of a FFP at low magnification can be overcome by using an illuminated reticle scope which makes the reticle very obvious and easy to see at low magnification. I love FFP reticles for hunting because I know the holdover will be correct no matter what magnification setting I use. Sometimes you just don't have time to dial the range with your turret and have to use the holdover reticle. Look at the Shepherd scopes [URL]https://shepherdscopes.com/[/URL]. They have a unique reticle that solves many problems with FFP reticles and are very quick for judging range without using a laser rangefinder. [/QUOTE]
