For accurate shooting past 100 yards (like coyote or prairie dog hunting), you should not be using an unmagnified optic (like a reflex sight).
For that kind of shooting you need a magnified scope. Prairie dogs are way too small to shoot well at 200+ yards with a reflex sight with a 4 MOA dot.
If you are trying to call coyotes in close for a quick-paced shot, then it is hard to beat a reflex.

funner to target practice with a reflex?

Honestly, target practice inside of 300 yards isn't all that fun for me by myself. I enjoy competition, and I enjoy shooting long-range rifle. Now, for steel challenge, I love shooting a rimfire (S&W 15-22) with a trijicon reflex sight....that is fun. Also, I do really enjoy taking fairly novice shooters out and teaching them to shoot. They always love using red dot type optics. It makes shooting more instinctive and easier than lining up iron sights.
