How to Zero a Scope
How to Zero a Scope
When Parallax is properly adjusted, your target looks like it has the Cross-Hairs painted on it no matter where you move your head.
Let’s say for example that you are hunting tree squirrels at 25 yards. If your parallax is not properly adjusted you can miss with the magic pellet even though you had centered your cross-hairs on the squirrel and pulled the trigger. To set your parallax, put your cross hairs on the tree and move your head back and forth… if your cross hairs move your parallax is not set. Try 30 yards and see what happens- in this case the cross hairs still move. Slowly feather the parallax adjustment back to say 27 or 28 yards and when the cross hairs stop moving you have your parallax set! Now, when you center the squirrel in your cross-hairs and pull the trigger, you will drop it like a bad habit!!
