[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2598754, member: 8394"] Huntnful, I remember back in high school going out to the range with my first hash mark/mil dot scope. Got good and practiced up, then went out after squeaks. With the 3x erector my fov was way to narrow at max, so dropped it down to help spot them in the alfalfa. Missed almost every hold much to my dismay. Took a fair whack of trips to and fro to figure it out, definitely a big fan of ffp. Heck most were set for max power, but I had one that was a 6-18 and the powers that be the mil dot was only accurate at 15. I still hunt with sfp scopes but only buy #4 or duplex. Probably whiffed a lot more first starting out from being in a rush. Less so now, life is such that in the middle hunting trips are dwarfed by range trips. Can afford to shoot a lot, but don't have the time to wander around the woods every spare day all year. Way more practiced up when shots come around, and probably have a different risk aversion.
