why do they say you must do this.

hiya as you may know i recently bought a new rifle with a hawke scope. what i dont understand i have been reading how to adjust it properly but they say you must increase the distance in which you adjust it, so like start at 10 yards and increas at 5 yard intervals until yo get to 35 yards. what i dont understand is that if your scope is set dead centre at 15 yards then you adjust it for the 20 yard mark, how will it still be correct at 15 yards :S

also will i have to do this as i havnt got a diving bottle yet for my rifle yet so although my rifle is full at the moment i dont want to go and shoot 50 pellets to adjust the scope because then i wont be able to go hunting this weekend. if i go straight to 35 yards and adjust it so its centre will it still be affective at 20 yards ?

thanks

Over my head that one mate

I usually zero mine at about 20yrds and when im happy with that, i then try it at 10yrds and 30yrds to see how much its

shooting high or low. Then i build up a mental picture so that on quarry at say 30 yrds you will know you may have to shoot an inch

higher so that you hit the Kill/Zero zone.

 

Also important that you use the same weight ammunision so that it dosnt diviate from your zero.

 

I hate messing about with sights to much as this then tends to throw your confidence and its easy to start

blaming the sights.

 

Well this is the way i do it others may have other methods.
