Going Back To School

[bigmac 97kt 13,836]

Well lads the nv has been on my mind all of the time its doing my head in so there is only one thing to do

 

Go back to school

 

we tell all the new lads to go to the range and get used to there rifle and the way it shoots and to group there shots in a five pence peace size grouping.

 

And not to shoot pray until they can well i got a loan of a nv set up off a very good friend of mine off hear ,

 

Well i threw every thing out of the window and thought i new it all but NO I DID NOT i cant hit a thing with it as its to hard to judge the distance with it four times iv been out and four times iv come home with a empty bag .

 

So iv taken on bored some advice off the nv lads and my mates .

 

Im off to the farm to night and im going to sit and plink on with it iv made some car-bored cut outs of rabbits and im going to place them out from 10 to 60 yards and learn this nv if it kills me ,

 

Iv cut the eyes out of high vis strips so they will show up in the nv ,not the best looking rabbits lol but they will do

Very good idea mac, I had to do this a couple of years ago at a 45 degree decline warren I found hard to judge, only thing to do was out out with a few cardboard cut outs and learn the aim points, my bag has increased ten fold with far fewer misses

As David Evans and vm has say,d to me to do this and learn the size of the rabbits in the nv scope so ill no instantly how far they are and what mill dot to use .

 

iv also made some markers for when i lay up so when they come out all i have to do is see what marker there at or near so i can take the shot

 

Its hard going back to school lol

fair play to you mac , get out there & give it ago , to be honest i get fed up after a couple of scans & go back to the lamp ,but i really am determined to have a full night with the nv unit soon as snow goes ,

There is only one way to do it bt leave the lamp at home

 

that way you have to use the nv all night

 

mind its crossed my mind to go home and get the ultra and the t67 and go back to the perm lol

Hi Mac,

If it helps any - go to your permission during the day "without the rifle" but take a range finder with you and range your usual spots.

After an hour or two of this mate you should have a good idea at night using a .177 (for me ) on your ranges.
