Shooting Tip Scope Parallax

[oldcratch]

So i'm now a little confused, he said "the parallax adjustment or the focus", I allways thought parallax and focus were different adjustments......Can anyone clarify (haha) this for me?

@oldcratch There is a focus ring on the eyepiece that needs to be adjusted for your eye when you first set up the scope, however the parallax adjustment also has a "focus" component, because when you look at a target at a certain distance, if the parallax adjustment is not correct it will appear blurry, once you make the adjustment to the proper yardage on the parallax dial it will "come into focus" and the parallax error (described in the video) will also dissappear.

Parallax error can be used to range find also.

@iain777uk yea cos when your on the same plane of view its still

Along with the last question, what happens if you have more parallax compensation than your yardage? In other words, if your parallax is set for 100 yds and you are shooting at a 50yd target is the reticle still going to move?

[cortes1911]

So what if you can't adjust parallax? Say it's focused at 50 yards and your target is at 100, could you still shoot accurately or would you be off?

It would great if you post a clip for the novice about mil dot estimating. cheers

[Darrenholmes]

Cheers for the clip, it sure explained what I needed to know about parallax adjustment.
