Scope Reticules

[Coney 3]

Alright I have to admit my eyesight is not what it used to be and has started to affect my shooting especially in low light conditions, I have started to notice a slight distortion with the reticule in low light that is not apparent during day time shoots. I have always focused the reticule on any new scopes as soon as they are on the gun during daylight, starting to wonder if after all this time I have been doing this in the correct manner. In the past I have always loosened the forward reticule ring and turned it counter clockwise until the reticule becomes clear on a plain white (or other light) background up to a distance of say around x10 meters then look away briefly and then take another look through the scopes to see if the reticule is still clear. This has always worked in the past for me but if anyone has an alternate method I am open to suggestions so lets here them.

 

Thanks Coney.

 

PS: I can not wear glasses to shoot in I have already tried and my current scopes have an illuminated reticule (red & green)

i just use the wall in one of the rooms at home, but everything else your doing sounds ok to me, close your eye for about 20-30 seconds while the gun is mounted after you focus and try for a second time, but your on the money to me........
