    Thank you! I've been shooting over iron sights my whole life, only my eyes just aren't what they used to be, so it's time to start using some optics. The only optics I've used before were in tanks when I was in the Army. This video, along with part 2, really explained the basics of the scope very well.

  • @daxpresuto3077
    @daxpresuto3077 5 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Good video, but reiterating that the directions (up, down, left, right) on the knobs translate to the direction you want the point of impact to change is important/helpful, since it can be counter-intuitive for beginners... I used to think those directions were where I wanted to reticle to shift. Maybe I am the only one, but it took me a while to permanently remember that principle.

    • @scott1lori282
      @scott1lori282 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On less advanced scopes without labeling you click toward point of the hit which means next time the cross hairs should be closer to bullseye. These modern fancy scopes are doing same thing with labels "UP & DOWN". Make you think you are going up while going down or left when adjusting right.

    Thanks very much for a simple, straightforward explanation of how to zero a scope. As silly as this may sound, I had a heck of a time understanding how to zero. My brain told me to move the crosshairs to the point of impact. It's the exact opposite. The point of impact needs to be moved to the crosshairs, so that's the direction you dial the turrets.

  • @theautodidacticman_
    @theautodidacticman_ ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Chasing the bullet hole with the center crosshairs is the most common way to sight in a scope, but there’s a better way and a whole lot more accurate way of dialing your scope in.
    Trying to adjust the point of impact to the center of the crosshairs can be a pain in the butt sometimes and they never come out perfectly accurate in my opinion. There’s a better way of sighting in your rifle scope and its simply just changing around your process. The gun is pointing at the point of impact and the scope is at the point of aim, so instead of bringing or “adjusting” the bullet hole up to the center crosshairs what you want to do and should do is bring your center crosshairs towards the bullet hole made for the most accuracy. For years I’ve been doing it wrong and basically lucking out, but not anymore. My scopes are accurate and precise now and it’s a simple process how to do it. Here’s a short video that explains it better than I ever could. th-cam.com/video/EmxbECg2znQ/w-d-xo.html
