Thank you, finally, someone actually demonstrates visually the difference between FFP and SFP. Very easy to see and understand. Nice work!

Excellent description of the two and great practical application examples.

Thank you. I found this presentation to be concise, clear, and includes use of EXCELLENT examples. This was exactly the explanation I needed to make an informed decision. Rock on!!

Thank you for this EXCELLENT video with practical examples of the benefits and limitations of BOTH SFP & FFP. Subscribed!🙂

Excellent, concise, yet comprehensive. Thank you!

OUTSTANDING video and explanation!

Easy and straight forward explanation! Thank you

Awesome video. Thank you for your service brother

Excellent video! Thank you!

Excellent job on your short but awesome video's! Keep it up!!

Thanks for the detailed education 🤙

Very clear thank you so much. 😊👍

This was so helpful

Great vid

Thanks for the education. This helped me a lot.

Great video! Prob stick with the first focal plane just for consistency and little lack of confusion for my wife and I both using the gun. And because coyotes can look pretty small out there and bold lines would make it harder.

Great video! Very informative. Thank you! I want to get into long range (700+ yards) shooting competitions and am trying to decide which would be better for me. Is there a scope with both first and second focal planes? And if so, would it be good for distance shooting in competitions? Also, most importantly. Thank you for your service.

l started out with a FFP scope, but after comparing the two l now prefer the SFP.

I feel like ffp is better overall because if you're on the low magnification more likely you're shooting closer yeah? So the fact the mils are harder to see is a not as important? And then the higher magnification you get a better took to help sight in. Or did I misunderstand

Can a FFP and SFP be used for windage correction of a running game?

Thanks Now I get it.

thank you

I probably didn’t make the right choice for my air rifle. I purchased a second focal plane as compared to a first focal plane. All my stuff is marksmanship and target shooting with the KERVAN airboss K1 25 caliber air rifle. I purchased the I purchased the Discovery Lhd 4-16x44 sfp second focal plan. I’m shooting up to 200 yards or more. Was it a mistake to purchase this?

Might be a dumb question, but let’s say I have a 4-12 sfp scope sighted at 100 yards 6X magnification . If my target is at 400m, I’m using the 4th tac mark on my scope (just for the example) and I turn my scope up to 10x magnification, would I still use the 4th tac Marc or is my point of impact going to change?

Why would you be zoomed so far out on a long distance target and not be able to see the reticle to begin with though? FFP

God bless metric system. Example - Schmidt&Bender PMII 10x42. So simple - 1 click = cm on 100 m.

So for long range precision shooting 1st is the way too go?

Everyone always says smaller or bigger reticle ok I get it but I Still is the only difference the wind holds?

I have a FFP scope, when I'm fully zoomed in at 16x the middle crosshair of the reticle becomes blurry and paper thin Is there a way to adjust that?

👍

FFP Always cost more ?

First focal plane pros: reticle stays the same when you change the magnification. Easier to have an idea of how far is the object at different zooms if you know the size. Cons at low magnification reticle to small hard to find. At high magnification might be bigger then your target. Second focal plane dont see any pros lol except price. But. Why not get a fixed magnification? Say 4 x for 100-200 yards. Say 6x for 100-500. 10x for 400+. Advantages; for same money you get a better scope. The money that goes into creating the variable goes into making the lenses so better image. Especially budget scopes they just zoom into image imperfections. You will know your reticle like your own mom. Less lenses means longer life more light less distorsions. Imagine you fight using a knife from 10 years age. When you are 40, they give you a variable lenght knife. Idea is you will play with that zoom too much instead of getting used to the same image over time. Why you think most snipers use a fixed 10x scope?

great, stuck with a vortex viper pst gen ii 5x25 that's second focal plane. pretty much just bought it getting into shooting and I didn't know better at the time. kinda not satisfied with everything now. ugh

Looking at lpvo 100 yd is sfp fine ❤

You forgot to mention for aSFP scope you could hold off very well . All you need to do is be on the specific magnification setting often ID in red and you are all set . Long range shooters use this technique all the time. Do not be sold on marketing

Ah, the actual practical pros/cons and not just the mechanical differences.

With ffp the parallax adjustment is more critical. this is almost never mentioned.

I still don't know what I want

be nice if an optic can have both functions1st & 2nd focal plane, I mean, we put a man on the moon.

Excellent video! Thank you!
