    Heat mirage

    Had a question for the more experienced ELR people here. I’ve shot two ELR matches now (KRG and Nightforce, will be attending both again this year) and shoot locally at a friends place out to a mile. My buddy and I went out yesterday and the heat mirage was absolutely insane. The optics we were...

    Optic Comparison - What am I seeing?

    Was at the range yesterday and had two higher end optics side by side looking at the same target area, same power setting. Scope #1 had a clear sharp image that was very bright and showed a slight amount of mirage. Scope #2 had a clear sharp image that was darker than #1, was a little harder...

    Educate me on mirage shenanigans

    So I'm trying to understand some mirage behavior that's bitten me in the ass in a few matches now. I'm running a LP Fuzion / Centurion in 6mm BRA with 107 SMKs going 2,880 fps. All my DOPE out to 750 yards has been validated. At the last couple matches I struggled on the KYL at 400 yards...

    DIY Mirage Shield

    I was looking for various DIY mirage shield materials for an upcoming FTR match and nearly decided to buy one... However, I found that Vinyl Drywall Bull-nose molding has a great profile for a mirage shield. Can readily be found at Lowes and HomeDepot for $2-$4 per 10' length. I found it on...

    Advanced Marksmanship Question about effects of mirage

    I was at the range Saturday trying to get scope settings for a new load. The mirage was some of the worst I've seen, and at 400 yards, two shots (I wasn't going for group) could have a vertical dispersion of several inches. This is from a rifle that is consistently sub-MOA at 400+ yards. The...

    Rifle Scopes mirage question

    Fieldcraft mirage camo

    Has anyone seen this pattern or have any experience with it in the field? Looks similar to a digitized camo used by the Italians. It is called "Mirage" camo and is produced by Bulldog Equipment.

    Rifle Scopes Mirage, where is it actually reading at?

    Maybe I am thinking to in depth about this, but last night while I was rolling around in my bed, trying to not think about how to improve my shooting and actually go to sleep, I was pondering this question. If I focus on lets say a 600m target and then dial back to read the mirage, where is it...

    Rifle Scopes Optic Magnification vs. Mirage ???

    Hi guys. Today we were shooting steel targets at 900yds and the mirage just terrible. The conditions must have been perfect to make the mirage especially shitty. We still did fine, but it brings up the question... How do you all deal with heavy mirage regarding scope magnification? I've...
