Typically, I don't mess with the magnification a lot (i lack the skill, honestly). I do my table (or set the app) at max magnification; hunting, I use min magnification for spotting, but I will go to max (when I can) for the shot.

A hashmark that indicates 1-MOA at 6x will indicate 4-MOA at 24x. <br /><br />2FP means you have to know your magnification in order to interpret the markings in the reticle.

To me the app makes the 2nd FP easy for hunting and the beginning of precision competition, because you're not frantically trying to remember whether reducing the magnification by half doubles the value of the distance between the hash marks or halfs the distance between the hashmarks.

Their ad is craftily written that the 2nd FP allow you to use their scope at distances using a holdoff you may not see in a FFP scope due to magnification (i.e. you lose some "dots" or stadia). I don't really get that, but OK. <br />Rastushttp://www.homegrownfascists.comnoreply@blogger.com
