[cavedweller]

Currently the Maven 4-20 x 50 is working ok for now On EFT pistol

So I’m off to Burlington NC for the 5-7 Grand Prix this weekend.
thought I’d share this:
For the HFT pistol match My TM1000 in .20 will be wearing the Athlon Heras SPR 6-24x56 FFP because it is too late in the game to swap over to a far better 12X reticle choice for pistol HFT.
When I return I’ll swap scopes and use the Athlon Ares Gen3 UHD 3-18x50; because at 12x the reticle is still nice and seeable and better than the Heras 6-24x56 at 12X or the Athlon Helos BTR Gen2, 2-12x42 or the Athlon Ares UHD 2.5-15x50; all options I’ve been staring through lately, while trying to make up my mind.
The Helos 2-12x42 is super sweet but my old brain needs more delineation between 0-1 or the trickiest of holdovers, too much guessing; kinda like my S-Tac 4-20x50 MH4 reticle.
Bottom line - the Helos 2-12x42 will end up perched on top of a single stroke pneumatic or a pesting platform as will the Ares 2.5-15x50; both amazing scopes while the Heras SPR 6-24x56 FFP will go back on something I can use at least 16-24x on.

My previous post was spot on about using the Athlon 6-24x56 FFP on top of my TM1000 HFT pistoli! At 12x the reticle was just too fine to be useful in dark lanes against dark targets, even with illumination. This was objectively proven by my overall reduction in KZ hits. I went from 68% to 35%. Scope selection, especially for pistol HFT is critical!
