Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics how was any of this possible without FFP?!?

Sometimes he's outsmarts himself I think. Google the Whiz Wheel he invented........geeesh.

LOL.

"Whiz Wheel".

Gonna get me one of those after I buy a Cough Silencer and a Butt Out.

Prioritizing the gear budget.

Hey numnutz, ever heard of Bryan Litz? It's universally accepted that he is the present day ballistic god. He was involved with Hodnett to help invent the thing.

I was heavily involved in the development of the Whiz Wheel and can vouch for the accuracy of the solutions which are generated with a point mass solver and measured G7 BCs. If you have comments or questions about the Whiz Wheel, you can place those in the comments section for this Bulletin post. I’ll try to respond to your questions, time permitting.

Bryan Litz, author of Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting, is the Ballistician for Berger Bullets.

LOL.

"Whiz Wheel".

What a hot mess.

There's a reason Walt Berger asked me to write the VLD Hunting section for the Berger Reloading manual and it had nothing to do with "Wheel Whizzing".

Just Sayin.

VLDH's suck, no wonder.

So, I have a rangefinder, a SFP scope & know my cum-ups.....................please tell me again why I absolutely can't hunt w/o & must have a FFP scope, which w/o a doubt, beyond a shadow of a doubt, sucks donkey balls in low light at nearer range(s) on lower power setting.

Can't wait for the answers............................

Wait, I know...............it's faster, as if I'm going to take a quick 800-1,000 yard shot.

Please............................

I like and use both, DGAFMF what anyone else wants to use.

LOL.

Please read more internet and shoot less critters.

FFP at low zoom power and in low light works great on the net but very much less so in the real world.

I hunt with both and I have no idea why anyone struggles with either one.

Excellent questions. I'm all ears too.

Never fear, John, there will be a couple of predictables (who will remain un-named) who will show up to enlighten us & also tell us what absolute dumb-fuc^cks we are for asking such stupid questions.

MM

Only if you have an illuminated reticle.......................... just sayin.

MM

Some people are "shooters" most are not .the not crowd relies on gizmos

My scope is better than your scope regardless what scope you have. 😂😆

The real question is do you have a "Whizzy Wheel"?

I really wonder if any game animal died within 1 Mile of a "Whizzer Wheel"?

How about it JG?

Litz and Hodnett approved.

JohnBurns,

Now, you're just being mean. You know that, don't you?

I've seen one in person but don't own one. I think they're pretty ingenious though. I'd bet it's much more successful than Graybull Precision was for you though.

What's the bet?

I got bought out and am pretty sure the $ involved swamped "Whizzy Wheel " bucks.

You got the the "Whizzy Wheel" financials or are you just talking out you azz as per normal?

Thought so.

Yeah riiiiiiiight. About like that cornball long range hunting show that showed you the door........

litz is pretty much the polar opposite of the vibe I pick up from hodnett. I prefer litz's style. I have bought his CD's, app and books. highly recommended. Tactical shooters are kinda like oil and water to me. its tuff for me to see the value of these chassis rifles with all sorts of crap hanging off them. a 1# detachable scope base thats 3" higher than the top of the action, with a 40mm tube scope or some other truck axle tube scope that is over 3 pounds. Its like too many video games have been watched. Oh lets also top the gun off with a panzer faust muzzle brake to tame the recoil of their 6.5 creed even though the gun is 20 pounds.

FFP sucks on the lowest power. The reason its as popular as it is, is because most shooters aren't using their scopes that often on the lowest power, Why because they are using them at the gun range mostly. peering of the edge of a finger canyon at first light, when animals are most likely to be wondering around, you want a bold reticle and you want to be able to make an off hand shot if you have to. and the argument about the SFP scope being set to the wrong power and causing a long range miss because the ticks don't line up. How about the FFP scope being set to, too high of a power and you struggle to get on the animal at first light as the bull of your dreams flashes through the quaking aspens? or how about the reticle sucking and lowest power and you can't tell a quaking aspen branch from shoulder of the deer or elk?
