FFP 101 Question

[General RE LEE]

My Mark 5HD arrives today and it will be my 1st FFP Scope.

Question: if I’m in a pinch can I zoom in and use the hash marks on the MOA reticle for my drop vs twisting the turret? I can envision a scenario of a buck trailing a doe and only have a couple seconds to shoot while he stops.

Do y’all prefer to dial in a hunting scenario or use the hash marks?

The primary advantage of FFP is that the hash marks are the same MOA/MIL at all magnifications. I don't use FFP, so I choose to dial when the situation calls for it.

Yes, you can either dial the turret, or hold over

Thank you. I was thinking of a scenario where a buck pops out into field and zooming in would help settle cross hairs on target.

zooming in never helps settle the crosshairs.

Hahah true. I should of thought that before typing.

The whole beauty of FFP is your subtensions are accurate no matter what power you are on.
