Rifle Scopes Finally Sniper's Hide Scope Tracking Targets

[morganlamprecht]

You shoot at the same top point each time but as you dial your elevation turret up the bullets will hit progressively lower. As Frank said, each is 3.6" apart which is equal to 1 mil at 100 yards. If you dial all the way up to 10 mils you should go from hitting the top center square dot to the bottom center square.

As you dial your elevation turret up it is actually moving your aim position down. At distance that means you have to tilt the barrel up a bit higher which allows you to compensate for the bullets drop but since we are keeping it at 100 that means the barrel is actually getting pointed progressively lower as you dial up.
If your bullets hit where they are supposed to then you have a properly tracking scope. If they hit elsewhere you can measure and see just how skewed your scopes elevation travel is.
You could get a secure mount like the targetusa mount or make your own version of a scope humbler and then not have to shoot the target to see the results.

bold part is backwards, aiming point needs to be on bottom...if you aim at a point and shoot, then dial up 10 mil...its going to hit 10 mils higher

So it is.
If you have it mounted in a humbler and dial the reticle will move down. If you shoot it the bullets will go up.

yes, and the reason i caught it was because last week i was actually shooting a tracking test instead of just dialing one, and i forgot and put my aiming dots on top lol....shot the zero dot, then dialed 1 mil and sent the next round over the paper ha oops

Just got my five. Almost to nice to put holes in ,but I am on at least two or three. Was in the printing industry for 35 years and these are really well done. Qaulity paper and precise printing, should be able to see bullet holes easily with these old eyes.

Spife is now officially henceforward to be known as Spice.

Spice is a righteous dude! To 90% of the rest of you useless fucks nobody cares that you bought them or received them with promises to use them next Tuesday.

That hurts, bro...

@Lowlight , used mine today.

The left target was my first go at it, i wanted to test wind and elevation, but after doing my first shot at 0/0 my 2nd shot was Up1.0/R1.0. i fired and couldn't see the wind hit in the black square. so i fired it again, still couldn't see it. I thought maybe my windage was off so i said screw it and just did elevation. shots 4-10 went where they were supposed to. after walking down and looking at the target, i realized my windage was GTG. so on the next target i did

1. 0/0
2. 1.0/L1.0
3. 2.0/R1.0
4. 3.0/L1.0
5. 4.0/R1.0
6. 5.0/L1.0
7. 6.0/R1.0
8. 7.0/L1.0
9. 8.0/R1.0
10. 9.0/L1.0

I then went over to the 1k range and did some shooting. used your new Impact Data Book sheet.

Got everything confirmed. I was using AB Mobile. everything was dead on. i didn't change anything from the app and got first round hits every time. I was shooting the usual IPSC targets which are very forgiving, but at most distances beyond 400, we have very small targets as well. some spinners, hangers and the little tiny IPSC. i shot all those as well to confirm i wasnt just getting lucky because of the large forgiving target. The RPR was good to go.

EDIT: I failed. To mention there was zero wind. I dialed nothing and held center. No accounting for SD and I even got hits at 1k. Imagine that.

Placed an order of 10 received in less than 3 days. Will use these as a tool to further my understanding of ballistics.
The learning process never stops. Trying to ramp my mind around how max point blank range changes with regards to barrel length and bullet weight.

Make sure you submit your email for the $50 dollars off drawing, I got the email I won the drawing and it helped me to up my order number!

 

[ruebarb]

These are great, thanks for releasing them

These are great targets! Frank gave me one at the 2018 snipers hide team challenge, and now I know that my very expensive scope doesn't track correctly! So much frustration has been explained. Thanks, Frank.
