Zeroing

[airgun nut]

cos if you do zero at 10 yds there are very few factors (wind,wobble etc) that can act upon the pellet at that short distance, thus the windage (left to right) can be obtained easily and at 10 - 12yds your secondary zero (thats the second point on the pellets arc which is at the same place its currently at) will be about 35yds

then all you have to do is put the target out at say 35yds and tweak your elevation as your windage will be ok

I'm very impressed Tim!

You could do a lot worse than ... going along to the B.F.T.A. web-site and downloading their manual ... "Setting Up An Air Rifle And Telescopic Sight For Field Target" ... whether you intend doing F.T. or not, it's an invaluable document. Regards ... da Geek

I didn't do much mate. You already had the skill.

That makes sense, I never thought of that. I stand corrected there is a point in zeroing at 10yds.

Except that if you're just a smidgen out with your windage at 10yds, the error will be magnified by 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 times when you subsequently re-zero at 25 or 35 yds.

I personally zero first at 35 then group test and adjust at 45 as less room for error there than at 35.

Most valuble thing I did was get a spirit level as the cant on my crosshairs before then was pretty big.
