POI test. .22 HW100

[QRichTee]

webley mosquito express .22 in my scope peak at 20 yard and there only an inch high. i can shoot small eggs right out to 40 yards with out coming off aim. you must have a high scope hight.

[CHOPERUS23]

Thats why .177 is better. Zero at 35 yard like I do and from 15 to 40 yard the pellet rises and drops no more than an inch.

[CHOPERUS23]

Nice vid and is that a cat making the noises lol.

Funny things these air rifles, for a 12ft/lb power setting it is 2 inch high at 15 yards but if you shoot a fac air rifle the whole thing changes again. You would have to aim maybe an inch high or more to shoot a target closer than your zeroed distance as the pellet is still rising. So I have that to adjust to also hah ha

Good vid .. Nicely executed tutorial for the inexperienced/begginers shooters.

[hammyhammond]

good video. I've had this but i get annoyed cos i have a springer, takes ages to set up a shot. need to get a pcp multishot for target stuff. but the few rats i've killed i kept missing starting out becuase of exactly this. i used to set my scope for 30 yards and a red dot laser at 15 and use the laser for the rats.

[ninja6kid]

true true fuck springers im done with that crap.have you ever shot a pcp?the accuracy really is amazing..i just baught a bam 51, i zeroed in at 10 yards a little high to compensate for drop longer range, i shot at a squirel 80 yards away knowing id never hit him, but i hit him right in the temple his head just exploded.

[fudge1monkey]

hello again! haha, nice to see you once more! aye PCPs are lovely to shoot, but people that start off with crappy springers learn exactly how to hold the rifles a lot faster, a springer shooter with a PCP is nearly always really good with it, but someone that just starts with PCP normally holds it retardedly meaning they lose all accuracy! springers for starters, then when your good with that, PCP FTW!!!!!!!

The arc of the trajectory shows up very clearly in the first slow-mo part on the "Shooting Stuff" video.

[airriflesniper09]

what type of scope is tht

[g4zwi]

Hiya!! nice video!! Just bought a HW100S, wonder what pellets you are using?? Thanks, Fred

[cubleycat]

Hi I find the absolute best is for mine is JSB Exact Diablo. They travel the flattest and most accurate ;)

[Airiflerholic]

this is due also to the fact that the scope allignment compared to the rifle barrel is 2 inches high.

so where the scope is zeroed differs at varying ranges, thats why some scopes have parralax adjustment.

Great vid, good diagrams, 5 star!

Check my vids!

[cubleycat]

Thankyou and well noted. I didnt want to bring it into the equasion but thats very true, I try to keep my scope mounted as low as I can. Thanks for the 5star :)

Sorry, parallax adjustment has nothing to do with scope height. On a fixed focal length scope your eye has to be dead centre of the optics, if not, you can place the crosshairs over the target and the POI will be elsewhere. This is due to parallax error, your line of sight looking into the scope not being coincident with the scope itself. If the scope is focussed at the target range, then your eye line becomes coincident with the scope, even if it's off line a bit, with no parallax error.

[Jes437]

There are two ways of compensating for distances being different to the zeroing range. Dialling it in on the scope, or using hold-over or hold-under. If you place the scope high you can set it so that hold under is not required, and you will be looking down the path of the pellet better, hence high scopes are actually better with low velocity rifles, like airguns. Check the BFTA scope setup manual on the net, it's all there.

[CHOPERUS23]

WRONG. the closer the scope is to the barrel, the less you have to compenste for a closer distance to your zero.

[chazwozzaa]

using a map pro on mine rifle is only a tx200 .177 but cool for rabbits/rats etc

[chazwozzaa]

Point well made was just saying tho at a 25yd zero all sub 21yd and over 28yd you would have to aim higher its better than a 35yd zero because a 35yd some shots may need to be lower and some higher where as at 25yd all non zero range shots u can assume to aim higher just keeps things more simple for my small brain which finds it hard to range find hehe

[cubleycat]

I like the 25yrd Idea, never thought about that, I don't field hunt. I used to do field target a long time ago(don't bother now because I shake too much)and used get the range by focusing with a high mag scope and then set the elevation turret to suit but your Idea is interesting for general shooting.

when I shoot rats its always at a set distance and I use a .22 not what you would use normally for target shooting, they don't travel so flat and hence have less margin for error.

[cressy7]

do you use your mill dots on your scope

[cubleycat]

yes sometimes I do, its said to be better than messing with the elevation turret, less wear on the scope apparently

[cressy7]

the mill dots are for a quick aim at different ranges ,i use to set my webley rader pre charge at 45 yards and could take out the rabbit with an eye shot i did have a bypod on the rifle ,i am now useing my .223 ar15 and zero at 100m and the first mill dot down comes in at 200m i takes a bit of time working out and getting use to the range of what you are shooting at but this makes life a lot easyer in the long run
