POI test. .22 HW100

I had to make sure I was correct about the question about why someone taking a head shot at a crow at 15yrds kept missing bearing in mind his scopes were set at 35yrds, I said it was probably going over the crow but a few people disagreed making me question if I was right or not, draw your own conclusion from the video!

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

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 :)

[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

[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]

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

[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

[AirArmsJackal]

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

[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!!!!!!!

[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.

[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.

[MadSmokerBBQ]

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

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.
