[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2407910, member: 114633"] At 60 to 80yards there is no need to hold for wind. 1. If your max range is under 400yd or your max power on the scope you want is 16 or less you don't need a FFP. 2.this could all change if you are trying to say build a dual purpose rig that shoots targets and running shots at coyotes at 200 yards and prairie dogs at 300 yards and targets/still coyotes at 600 yards. 3. FFP is more about the MAX power of the scope you are going to buy because being stuck at 25power for usage of the reticle is a handicap for some situations. 4. You said in your original post you could shoot a buck at 560yds from a blind. IF this means you want a 24,25,36 power scope to make that shot I'd go with FFP for the occation you want to shoot another buck at 300 yards in strong wind and you want to only zoom to say 15pwr because your excited and every time you zoom your scope to 32pwr you move around from excitement and lose the buck in your scope. All this being said if you go out and buy a 4-16 you are going to be at 16pwr for every shot past 100yds and therefore have defeated the purpose of having an FFP scope. [/QUOTE]
