    Question about "Christmas tree" style reticles

    With the increasing amount of "dirty" or "Christmas tree" style scope reticle offerings, I was just wondering how many people prefer them to clean reticles when shooting air rifles? Does anyone ACTUALLY USE(for example) a holdover dot that is 7 mil down and 5 mils to left/right when shooting air...

    How much hold-off for wind....

    ... do you feel confident that you can still hit the kill zone? I.e.- What is the most you would ever hold-off for wind and take a shot with any hope of hitting the mark?

    Viewing posts of members that you "follow"

    On the homescreen of the old site, I had a "scroll/feed" of all brand new threads, and POSTS(not "THREADS started by") made by members that I follow. Now I can't seem to find anywhere to view new posts made by people I follow. Am I missing something?

    *Update 12/24/21* Initial thoughts on Fat Boy 2.0
