Zeroing

[MetroidManiac]

Whats the best technique to do it?

[snock]

Start off at 10 yards, using a stable position, like prone.

Shoot a shot string at the target from 10 yds at the bull. Do not adjust your aim at no point.

Take up any adjustment on the scopes turrets to bring the pellets nearer to the bull.

Shoot another 5 shot string at the bull.
Repeat this until your shots are hitting the bull each time.

Move back to 25 yards and repeat a 5 shot string and make adjustments if necessary.

Only adjust after 5 shots as you could be chasing your tail all over the target card.

What caliber and what power. The zeroing distances can be calculated with chairgun

the way i do it is to set out a target like a cardboard box and draw round a 10p piece a few times. then i place the box in front of a suitable bacstop at my required zero. then i fire 5 shots and see where the pellets group and adjust accordingly

hi, sorry for being dum but why do you have to first zero at 10 yards, i just zeroed in at the distance i was shooting e.g 20 , thanks for any info

I zero initially at 13.6yds as this gives me a secondary Zero of 38yds.

this is done so when you then shoot at the second target to zero you should only have to adjust elavation
