[QUOTE="General RE LEE, post: 2733875, member: 115273"] I’ve really tempered how much I zoom on game before the shot. I’ve found 6x out to 300 yards 4x at 200 and 3x under that is optimal. I have enough magnification to make the shot in the lowest light, but more importantly a wider FOV to see how the deer reacts and what happens afterwards. I used to zoom to 9 or 10x on 250-300 yard shots and completely lose sight of the hit and what happens afterwards in the scope. At that point I’m watching with the naked eye. With my lighter kicking calibers with a good lean into the recoil pad and low power, I can shoot and see the hit, the reaction and the aftermath in the scope. [/QUOTE]
