Field Target: Range Finding and Clicking

This is a very brief video on how one uses his/her scope for range finding during a match and how clicking works. My rifle in an Air Arms S400 shooting a JSB 8.44 pellet at about 870 FPS.

Clicking is defined here as the moving of the elevation turret knob on the scope. Most scopes have a positive 'click' sound when moving from one value to the next. Thus the term 'clicking' is the same in this context of field target.

I hope this video will help. Shoot safe, have fun, and enjoy God's creation.

Good vid but the crickets were really getting on my nerves...

1, you don't have that much time to PX, you only get 2 minutes per lane. i understand the vid is to demonstrate how to px, i'm just saying.

2. when you do px always come down onto the target, i.e if the tgt is 25yards start off with the px ring at 30yds and come down and STOP when the image is crystal don't go back and forth.

@Mondymad Greetings Mondymad,

You have a few false statements based upon most American FT matches. First, you do not have two minutes per lane but five (match dependent). Still not familar with PX or how it relates to focusing. Second, you do not just stop when the image is clear. In a match you range find a few times to see if you were correct. My friend, and two time national champion, states he will range fine two to four times to be sure. You are on the right path though.

Greetings Feiz01,

There are several things you need to do first. However, what are you trying to accomplish? Setting up the for FT or just setting up the scope in general? I am about to make a video about how to setup your scope for FT. That may answer your questions. Let me know. :-)

@Avveduti Your lucky to have 5 mins per lane, in the UK its only 2mins once your eye comes up to the scope. PX is parallax, you call it focusing but PX or parallax is the technical term. PM sent about the image clear part. (scope dependant too about that, try a nightforce and you'll ubderstand) plus 2mins you don't have time to px several times..

@feiz01 You will have two zeroes dependant upon scope height usually between 22 and 29 yards, zero at the second then all diallings will be upwards.

No such thing as two settings, each range has its own dialling ie 20 to 55 yards will change by the yard, so if dialled for 35 you will be well low at 45 or even 55.

Up to zero ie short range this will have a rapid rise, so someone been telling porkies.
