just bought one and stuck it on my hw100 , zeroed it in the back garden in the dark , will zero it properly tomorrow as I've got a hft comp.nothing like knowing your aimpoints
just bought one and stuck it on my hw100 , zeroed it in the back garden in the dark , will zero it properly tomorrow as I've got a hft comp.nothing like knowing your aimpoints
Used it today in a hft comp.10x mag 25ydzero parallax 25yds .I have to say @10x mag the killzones were looking alot smaller than any of my other scopes at the same mag. I think I might up the mag to 12x.
I will get my aimpoints worked out properly for both 10x and 12x and go from there.
I thought this when I first pickeda connect up, it's an optical illusion.
The reticle has specific measurements relating to the kill size, you can check these back to back with the scope you are comparing against. eg the 4 points on the central cross (+ and - 0.5moa points)touch the edges of a 40mm disc at 40y. When you have got this setting matched on both scopes, you are then comparing like for like size.
At this point, the target will still look smaller through the connect because you can see MUCH more scenery around the target. This gives the benefit of not having to look away from the scope for a final wind check before going for the shot.
Think about it logically, If the sizes you are looking at were not right, the physics of the pellet drop would not match where they are supposed to be on the reticle.

"the 4 points on the central cross (+ and - 0.5moa points)touch the edges of a 40mm disc at 40y"
Thanks for that useful tip Dave, any more
er, yes - if the kill is smaller, it's further away.... or a smaller kill
same 4 points fill a 15mm kill at 16y (also coincides with my close range off crisp sight picture as a sanity check)
just a matter of a bit of rangetime and doing homework.
