[QUOTE="SEGARE, post: 2296904, member: 108067"] Not only the shakiness, but more so the ability to find the target with the increased magnification. A pressure situation, with fading light and a novice (OP, not sure of your son's skill level- not disparaging his aptitude) hunter can make for a blown opportunity. I keep my scopes dialed down until I see the target, then adjust accordingly, and I've been doing this for 45+ years. OP, I would also recommend an illuminated reticle to make it easier to find the crosshairs in that last minute of legal shooting light, when buck always seem to appear. [/QUOTE]
