scope reticules
 |
the standard cross is found on most scopes |
 |
the cross with a dot in
the middle is more accurate for hunting |
 |
this reticule is
designed for leveling the gun, making zeroing easy |
 |
three dots, designed
for level, accurate shooting |
 |
this reticule is good
for getting your target into the centre of the sight |
 |
this sight is the same
as the above reticule, but has a smaller cercle for more accuracy |
 |
this reticule is good
for leveling, plus it has an accurate dot, in the middle |

scope ranges
| the range of a scope is
the magnifacation x the light gathering. for example: if your scope is a 4x20 then it has a 4x magnifacation, and a 20% light gathering some scopes have ajustable magnifacation: if you had a 3-9x40 scope then the magnifacation would be varable between 3-9x and the light gathering would be 40%. |
scope terms
here are some terms used when using a scope |
dial-in range when a scope has a parallax ring, you can ajust the focus. by fine focusing, you can read off the range. hold under used to describe how much you must aim the cross hairs under your target, to hit centre. hold over used to describe how much you must aim the cross hairs over your target, to hit centre. windage is used to describe the horazontal ajustment on your scope. elevation is used to describe the vertical ajustment on your scope. drift describes the path of a projectile is wind, e.g the bullet drifted to the left of the zero. drop describes the path of a projectile over a distance e.g the bullet dropped 2cm over 50metres. zero when the impact of a projectile is lined-up with the centre of the cross-hair the scope is 'zeroed'. reticule the reticule is the picture that is seen in front of the target, it is usually a cross. cross-hair the point in the centre of the picture where the aim points meet. |
