When you are hunting with an AO scope do you just set it for your common shooting/hunting distance so you aren't fooling with it while Mr Bushytail hops from limb to limb? I'm guessing 25yds?
I'm just thinking that the AO is just one more thing to fiddle with. Fine for a target but not fine for a scampering critter.
If they are hopping limb to limb or scampering, taking a shot is pointless no matter what set up you have.
A feeding squirrel will make many pauses, and give you ample time to make adjustments
With some scopes it's possible to adjust while aiming so you can ignore the range settings and judge by the sharpness of focus on the target.
The gain in precision will make up for any missed opportunities
