[QUOTE="lameduck, post: 918968, member: 7530"] This may have been said: When you have the scope on 9x you will not see branches that are in the way at short range. You would think that you would only not see the smaller branches, but even 1" diameter branches can disappear in a scope set a 9x at close range. Secondly, unless something is wrong with your scope changing the power from 3x to 9x will not change the point of impact. Generally speaking in hunting situations, do not put your scope over 4-5 power when shooting. I understand that you may turn it up to 9x to access age and antler size at a distance, but then turn it back down to 4-5 before taking a shot. This is because there is a great deal of nerves involved and when at a high power it will make it look like you are shaking a lot more than you really are. Also when at lower powers your field of view through the scope will be greater. [/QUOTE]
