Ep. 192 | Can You Hunt With a FFP Riflescope? Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

First focal plane (FFP) reticles in hunting riflescopes? Aren’t those reticles for all them “Tactical Folks”. Well, no. The benefits of having an FFP reticle in your hunting riflescope are many – depending on where and how you will predominantly hunt. If short-to-moderate distance shots are your norm, an FFP reticle could be a detractor. If you’ll likely encounter longer shots – 300 yards and beyond – it may make the difference between a punched tag or tag soup. Looking for one scope to do it all? FFP could make sense. If you have, or are looking to extend your effect range, listen in to see if having an FFP reticle is right for you. Like sneak-peaks at super cool optics? Listen in or watch on YouTube for that as well!
