Yours is the best explanation why for some "Keep it Simple" works. Hunting in wide open spaces 6 power has always been best. That goes out the window if on rare occasions timber and brush are in the mix. But 90 percent open country to 500 yards utilizing fixed power and hold over or LR reticles like Swarovski BRH or Leupold LR saves sight in, scope weight, and time required to squeeze off an accurate shot. The credibility of Swarvorskis ballistic calculator feature showing the dynamics of changing power resulting in dramatic set distance change never has been questioned but not fully understood until you explained. Thank you.
