Well, that may be. I certainly don't know but suspect there are more guys shooting targets than still-hunting whitetail in any seriously dedicated fashion.
For me, still hunting in often dim light, snap shooting is more often than not. I do better with a heavy crosshair. Once they bolt and are underway, nothing is perfect. Too, late evening you are sitting 99% of the time hopefully closer to wherever you left the truck.
Lightweight is better as I not growing younger nor the days shorter.
fwiw, I did call Leupold on the VX5 and the reticle's subtension are thinner than they appeared.
