[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3065547, member: 15054"] I have had some scopes that show arrows for up and down and left and right and they were backwards. That makes you 2x farther from the bullseye if you adjusted by counting clicks. I was at Banner watching an older guy shoot his 7mm rem mag. He was shooting a decent group Sub MOA.. He took 3 shots and was about to adjust the scope by guessing how many inches the shots were off. I stopped him and asked him If I could show him something cool. he had a led sled type shooting platform.. So the gun could be held really steady. He said sure. I told him hold the gun as still as you can on the bullseye and do not move it a bit and I will adjust the cross hairs until they touch the group of bullets. He looked a bit puzzled and said go for it. His next shot hit the bullseye right smack dab in the middle. He looked over at me and said I think I hit the center. I was spotting through my scope and said yes you did..He asked should I shoot another..Your gun shoot it. 1/2" to the left.. One more he said.. that one planted touching the other one in the center. He said:I never got the scope on target after 3 shots.. usually a box of ammo is what it takes, never seen a scope adjusted that way and I have been hunting for many years..I am doing it this way from now on if ya don't mind. Right on. But like I stated there are many ways to get there as long as we get there :) [/QUOTE]
