Join the contest SubscribeMuch depends upon your scope an your cheek weld. I have some side focus scopes I have to adjust, for every yardage even if the target is 3-4 moa. I also have a front ergo scope, that requires no adjustment from 500 to 1050 for 1.5 - 2moa or bigger targets at all.If a stage has targets from, say, 300 out to 800, would you just pick a parallax setting somewhere in the middle, or would you try to adjust as you go?
what about a Kahles 6-24?
Can you tell me IF you ever change parallax settings during a stage? I don't seem to have enough time as it is.
I don’t shoot matches, but I do shoot and can say that parallax error is more theoretical than practical. If you know how lo look through a scope then it matters none. You aren’t missing because of parallax.

that sure helps. thx.it's theoretical depending on several factors, the biggest being Cheekweld, but it's real if,
In a PRS event, a new or less experienced shooter is compromising their head position on different props or positions, and if they are running too high a magnification
Parallax is mostly magnification based, when guys are shooting at 15x it's not a big deal, go to 25x it starts to get more so, and if a 7-35x tries it on 35x it's worst,
Parallax might not cause you to miss, but can, even on paper at 100. Just knock your scope off parallax and move your head, you can see it float over the target and move around.
If you lower your magnification you can get away with a ton, which if you use 12x, odds are you see nothing. It's still part of sight picture and requires you to understand how it works so you can compromise when needed.
Sure most are not missing with a parallax error, but we don't know if that is the case with a lower 50% shooter, how do you know some of their misses are not due to them trying to engage a series of targets on 25x. Finding a middle is easy, but if you have no clue and some guy on the internet says don't sweat it, you might not sweat it when you should.
I think education is this case is better than dismissing it, especially since you can see it and set it up so you will miss.

I always thought differently about new shooters. My thoughts were that they should ‘t worry about something that means so little when first starting out. If they didn’t know parallax existed and would just get behind the scope correctly (not necessarily the rifle) and concentrate on that, they would be better off.

Lowlight and others seem to agree either on whole or in part on what I said. You have stated before you shoot on max power almost always and I shoot under 15x almost always. Maybe thats the disconnect between us both. My point is if the target is in focus or relatively close, the parralax is set close enough to not make a difference. Lowlight pointed out a few finer details that may make that statement not all inclusive of course.Unless you shoot everything prone or in a way that allows you to get an absolutely perfect sight picture every time, IGNORE this advise.
If you do any type of practical/tactical/positional shooting, parallax is a huge deal.
