Yes they are ... FFP. I posted the picture they don't cover near as much of the FOV as the scope which blocks everything. I posted a pic, it is night and day from a scope.
You shoot in the desert, try shooting in grass or woods and see how well it works... it doesn't.
You like it, great go use and have a nice day. The Majority don't like it, and First Impressions are Telling... there is a reason so many people who looks at it OBJECTIVELY think it is too busy. That initial impression doesn't lie and you will find most who were talked into using it will move away from it after a certain point. Very few stick with it. 10 years+ i have been around it and I have 10 years + of history to back up my points.
AS I STATED ABOVE --- One Off Fans need not apply, we get it you're invested it in and want the world to know you like it. Good for you. Enjoy your reticle, the club you belong too will always be exclusive with limited membership. That should appeal to you.
I must give credit where credit is due, you sir have absolutely mastered the art of the backhanded compliment and for that I salute you.
If the majority don't like it why is it, here on your own site, that when optics with Horus reticles come up for sale they usually sell in a matter of hours if not sooner?
I think it's evident you have history ( and a hard on for it )with it by why not concede that despite your history and opinion of the reticle that for the general shooting community, this reticle continues to be quiet well liked and used?
If it wasnt, they wouldn't keep building and selling scopes with them as an option now would they?
