Never Make This Mistake When Hunting With Second Focal Plane Optic

Finally. I was so sick and tired of hearing "second focal plane only works at the highest magnification." No, second focal plane works at any magnification if you do the math, go to the range and check for accuracy of your math. Thank you, sir for apparently being the only one on KZbin that I have come across who seems to understand this.

Exactly what I've been saying for years. Also in lower light at low power you can actually see the cross hair. Good hunting to you.

[@albertaoutdoors9220]

Yep. I always pick a mid range magnification and do my own personal drop chart. I am a hunter and only shoot targets at hunting ranges but when in the field I like to carry at different magnification based on the terrain and coverage. Tight quarters? Then 3x Mid range or some tight spots? 6x. Sitting over a meadow or hill side where it’s gonna be 100 yards or more? Then 9x BDC works as called out when in 9x and I have the numbers for 6x memorized. 3x is only used in tight quarters and it’s a straight shot no BDC required “Won’t work” and not calibrated are 2 different things

[@HazardousRob]

What they mean by sfp only working at one magnification is that the hash marks are only true at one magnification. Meaning there's only one magnification where they don't require a conversion. Calm down.

[@reiddosch2716]

Awesome explanation, how would you go about calculating for powers other than half?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Same principal for the easy math you would double again going from 12 to 6 power

[@21psd]

Good demonstration of this. I have a Vortex HST 4-16 SFP scope. On its magnification ring, there are only references at 16x, 8x, 5.3x, and 4x in order to simplify the math when applying this concept. 8 is 1/2 of 16, 5.3 is about 1/3 of 16, and 4 is 1/4 of 16. So if my shot calls for 3 mils and my magnification is set to 8x, I would hold 1.5 mils (1/2 of 3 mils), if my magnification is set to 5.3x, I would hold on 1 mil (1/3 of 3 mils). It works well.

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Nailed it!

[@TroyTownsend-wj3rv]

Great video do we need to convert to M.O.A if we are shooting M.R.A.D, or can we just double the calculations at 1/2 power as with M.O.A. ?

Love this video! Quick question, if the turrets are set to .25 MOA adjustment, do those need to be re-calibrated depending on what power you are on? Example being click = .25 MOA at full power and low power, or is it a click = .25 MOA at full power (12) and .75 at low power (4)?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Great question. Every click is always .25 MOA no matter what power you are on. The difference is in the reticle itself, not th elevation dial.

[@markmcdo1]

Do the same rules apply if I dial elevation? Example, if a 1000 yard shot calls for a 30moa holdover, if my scope is set at 1/2 power would I dial to 15 or 30 moa?

[@matthewstigen8765]

I understand perfectly what you are saying. Well said! However im confused... does it matter at whatever magnification you have set on your scope do the crosshairs stay constant (lets say you have a traditional 100 yard zero) or does that shift the point of impact too? I hope this makes sense..

[@matthewstigen8765]

Found an answer: Unless your scope is broken, changing the magnification by zooming in or out will not change the POI of your bullet down range.

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Looks like you answered ur own question and we are actually doing a short video on that right now. But now magnification does not matter for your crosshairs.

[@LoneStarRay]

On second focal plane do you personally always zero at full mag?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

@@LoneStarRay yes but that’s a personal preference and not necessary

[@Indylimburg]

Good idea. Get DOPE on full, half, and lowest magnification.

Great video. Does this "calculation" also apply to MIL reticles in SFP optic? I got a Konus ABSOLUTE 5x-40×56 for testing. The subtentions are .5 MIL and my particular ammo is 1.5 MIL at 300m. If I go to 20x mag, would I need to hold it at 3.0 or .7 MIL for same POI? I'm more aquianted with FFP (1-10 LPVO) so I'm trying to wrap my head around this.

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Great question! Yes applies to Mil as well. You are correct, at 1/2 magnification your hold would be .75. Thanks for watching.

[@jeremylines6874]

So Half magnification you double the MOA; when you’re at the least magnification do you times it by 4?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Correct (in most cases)

[@FirstLast-to6nj]

Just getting into big game hunting and I didn't really understand why hunters would use SFP if you weren't using full magnification, good video though does a good job of explaining how a SFP works. Now you have me wondering though. Most rifle scopes I've seen, including mine which is a SFP, have dials for the elevation and windage where each click of the dial is 0.25 MOA change. I would assume it is 0.25 MOA at full magnification? If so, then at 1/2 magnification, would that same single click be 0.5 MOA?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Great question. If it’s in 1/4 MOA clicks, it’s always the same no matter what magnification. The only thing that changes is the sub-tensions in your reticle

[@BoltImpact]

Thanks for the video mate! I just picked up my first second focal scope and I’m so confused! It’s an Accura 5-30x56 and mine says 1-1 at 20x with no other info so I don’t get what I’ll be at when I’m at full magnification!

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Your subtensions will continue to change, so now you have to do even more math, which can get really confusing when you are going beyone the 1-1. Your 2x subtentions will be at 10x with that optic

[@ebismundo]

So if I’m at the lowest magnification my sub tensions would multiply by 4? Correct?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Correct

[@OutdoorSolutions]

For your elevation or wind.

[@jmoore8761]

So would your moa at 6x magnification be 3x and The 5 moa in the reticle would represent 15?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

On the 6-24 it would be 4x and 20. Thanks for your question and thanks for watching.

[@Reaper-3000]

Two quick questions: 1) does this only apply to hold over or also when I dial in? Let's say I zeroed my Rifle using half Power at 100 yards and now I have to use full Power while hunting. Does that mean I need to dial up only half of what's needed? 2) What if I need less than Half Power? Let's say magnification at 0. For example there's something 10 yards in front of me? Thanks for any feedback!

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Magnification for your zero does not effect holdover or dialing. If you have something as close as 10 yards you might have to consider your scope offset but that’s it.

[@Reaper-3000]

@@OutdoorSolutions Hey thanks for the swift reply. OK let me ask it this way. If im at let's say im holding over at 250 yards and I need to come up just for example 4 MOA. On half power that would be 8 MOA.. Now if instead of holding over I want to dial it in do I dial 4 or 8 MOA?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

@@Reaper-3000 Your dial will always be accurate no matter what magnification you are on. SFP only has to do with the sub tensions in your reticle not the dial. Hope that helps. :)

[@legaspiaudio9830]

Does this also appy to a first focal plane scope? Also I see you're doing holdovers however, if your turrets are dialed for a specific distance, does the half power (12X) rule still apply?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Great question. Does NOT apply to FFP, which is one of the advantages of FFP. If you dial for your elevation it does not apply. If you dial partial elevation and still need to use hold over yes it would apply. Hope that helps. Actually gives a good idea for a new video.

[@Bedbassandbeyond]

So, pretty much place target on same reticle mark regardless of magnification. Just jave to know what magnification youre on so you can call it x2 or x3, etc

[@OutdoorSolutions]

@@Bedbassandbeyond same reticle mark at different magnifications will give you different results

[@Tatankaonline]

I the first 30seconds you said "we'll leave a link to it in the description" concerning your video on "first focal plane versus Second Focal Plane".

By having half magnification on a 3x9 scope, does this also change my 100 yard moa of 2, 200 yard moa of 4, 300 yard moa now being 6?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Why do you have a 100 yard MOA of 2?

[@mikemason4792]

I scope my deer at low power to determine size and I aim. Once I have my aim I change to full power to take my shoot. While this never fails me is it wrong to do it this way?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

If it never fails, I wouldn’t stop. Shooting at full power on most SFP optics is where your sub-tensions are true.

[@tyrionlannister2565]

I’m guessing that this is the same for windage?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Yes same for windage.

[@thebigmoizt3270]

So what would be the ideal zero for a SFP optic?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Not necessarily FFP vs SFP for zero, we recommend 100 yards but the most important thing is to be consistent with all your rifles for set up b

[@warrenlathrop6296]

That depends on the caliber and velocity you are shooting. Also your shooting style. I don't like to fool around spinning dials or using range finders when a nice buck is in sight so I sight in deer caliber rifles 2600 to 3000fps so the top of my groups are 3.5 inches high at 150 yards. That makes hits from zero to 300 yards a simple aim and shoot proposition.

[@southgeorgianole2668]

Hey Tony, what is your specific question about Parallax adjustmen?

[@kensnyder2248]

So why can't I just site in on half mag. And be good for both full mag. And minamin mag.???

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Great question. Point of impact does not change when using center crosshairs for zeroing your rifle. Magnification does not matter until you start using your reticle for elevation and wind holds.

[@fishlife1013]

​@Outdoor Solutions so does that mean I can use my dope card to adjust and still maintain my zero when I adjust my elevation or windage

[@OutdoorSolutions]

@@fishlife1013 not 100% sure if I understand the question but your zero stays the same no matter your magnification your DOPE chart will still be true but you will have to adjust to any changes in your sub-tensions if you change magnification. Hope that makes sense or answers your question.

[@Dfleuryoutdoors]

I prefer first focal plane so you don't have to worry to about your hold overs changing. Downside is the reticle is tiny on minimum magnification and can be hard to see in low light.

[@OutdoorSolutions]

We agree, that’s why we really like the ZEISS S3, it has an illuminated crosshairs for point of aim during low magnification

[@Dfleuryoutdoors]

@@OutdoorSolutions an illuminated reticle is the way to go. I have a primary arms 3-18 and the Illumination is useless during the day but in low light it makes a huge difference. Another nice thing with some primary arms reticles is they put a horseshoe around the aiming chevron. On min magnification the horseshoe can easily be seen.

[@OutdoorSolutions]

@@Dfleuryoutdoors we hear ya. Some optics illumination is useless during the day. The S series has a true daytime illumination which is awesome.

[@itsmisterbojangles]

I also noticed the bullet hit farther to the right. Assuming you didn’t jerk the trigger, could this have been caused by the sfp dial?

[@OutdoorSolutions]

No would not have anything to do with SFP of FFP

[@paristo]

The reason why I dislike SFP scopes, that are so common in europe that you don't really see FPP sights for lower price range. It doesn't make much to do the math, like going from 4x to 8x as you just double or divide things, but that really works only on the range, not on the faster situations if such accuracy matters. But considering that you rarely shoot over 25-50 meters for moose, deer etc as you don't have a sight on them, it doesn't matter and why SFP sights are so common as you get clearer image and reticle. With FFP scopes it is just nice to know that your sight markings can be used without thinking math. I just wish that we really would get to affordable levels already with the "smart scopes". As in digital computer adjusting the sight. So have a button to measure range to target with laser, computer measures the cant constantly, but will measure the pitch angle on time of range measurement. And then show the impact point based to that data. For the wind, I think it could be done by just estimating and inputting the value there, as adding laser to measure wind speed from dust particles becomes too expensive. And of course all this would be done by your own chosen cartridge for your gun in the range, so you shoot the group, move the dot on impact point and save the cartridge to the sight. And if having 3-5 cartridges memorized for 10-20 different range values, it would help a lot. As bonus, have the temperature measured as well, as that is cheap and easy thing to add there. I think a Chinese company could easily make these sights for even sub 200-300 price range if really put some effort. And I know that so many airsoft shooters would really love such things, and even more some smaller caliber users. There is the open source Linux based smart rifle, but cost is almost 20 grand... You can even just mark the point where you want to hit, and then scope tracks the target and you just need to move the crosshair on that mark by holding trigger and it will automatically fire when sight is on place.

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Some good points. The problem with having a $200 - $300 Chinese is you have a $200 - $300 Chinese scope

[@paristo]

@@OutdoorSolutions Most things are done anyways in China, even the 4000-5000 dollar optics and cameras, that don't cost anywhere near to produce at that price. Example my optic that cost 21900 USD, costs to manufacturer to produce only about less than 4000 USD. Sure it does perform far better than a 1200 USD optic, but difference is negligent that only 5% of the time you really get the benefit for it. Sad thing is, you can be almost as effective most of the time with a 140 USD one... The point is, the electronics and code doesn't really cost much for a mass production. One can already do crazy things with a 5 USD arduino board. Question is more that there is only the couple commercial sights out there, and then some crazy military industry prototypes and ideas, but otherwise nothing to really push simple tech forward. Like alone just having a computer to adjust impact point inside scope (a red dot or something) based shooter optically adjusting collimator ranging would make many very happy, even if required to manually adjust estimated windspeed. Like go to shooting range and lock rifle on table, shoot at the 50 meters, 100 meters, 300 meters and on each range move the dot on impact point and record the range and position for that. Let the computer perform the extrapolation between ranges then. Very simple computer system and would help a lot of people.

realistically,out to 300 yards, none of this matters and you just hold over the correct amount. Naturally you need to know your ballistics well.

Could 100% matter at 300 yards. If you’re on 50% magnification at 300 yards, and don’t calculate for double sub tensions is enough for a complete miss or a wounded animal.

@@OutdoorSolutions my point was to ditch the crutches in the scope and know your ballistics for hold over. At longer yardages maybe start using the little crutch lines in the scope ? If i know my bullet and ballistics there is no reason to use the little lines as a crutch, it's not hard to actually know how to shoot. I know my bullet is gonna drop 12 inches ?

We appreciate your observation but don't agree with the "crutch" comment, it is a tool to make you more proficient.
