Optimize Magnification for Faster and More Accurate Shooting

How do you pick up targets quickly with a magnified optic? Whether you're shooting for fun or competition, understanding the optimal magnification setting on your optic can improve both speed and accuracy, especially when engaging long-range targets. This tip suggests starting at a lower power setting, such as one power for close targets, and adjusting to around 2.5 to 3 power when moving to engage distant targets. This Guns & Gear Bonus Tip is brought to you by Vortex Optics.
