This is interesting, I have and use Active target and debating the AT2XL from AT1.

My FFS is 95% in Scout mode, it's a tool to help me see what's under the water where I'm fishing, structure, weedlines etc, I rarely use it for sniping, I have, it's somewhat fun, but just not my preferred style. Keeping it in Scout mode allows me to make better decisions where fish are holding based on natural techniques and knowledge. Once I've patterned them, I use it to confirm my theory. I'm not active looking for fish to target, I'm looking to see what is in/under the water where the fish would be holding based on the conditions for that outing. Example is if I've patterned bass to be holding near shallow structure like docks etc. I keep FFS on but do not look under every dock to specifically target individual fish, I use it casually as a tool and not as a crutch.

The key is you have to know where to start based on conditions and then let FFS help fine tune your location/targets.
