This by far is the best "how to scope adjust" video I have ever seen. I wish that all "how to content creators" can create videos this simple, comprehensive, and concise. Great job
He used the KISS(keep it simple & short) principle....I have watched many videos on you tube about adjusting a scope this one is the best. Man thanks for sharing ❤
All true and logical. I’ve pulled out a lot of hair trying to explain this to those who will not carefully shoot a three shot group and then adjust accordingly. I’ve seen many boxes of ammo burned up by people trying to chase a zero with Kentucky windage a shot at a time and then trying to adjust “backwards”. Why this is even a thing, I don’t know.
Good video,simple & to the point. While only using it to make a point,the marksmanship callout was perfect as I've heard many people over the years say their scope or gun is broke,when their mechanics,or breathing,jerking the trigger,flinching,etc. is usually the real cause of shitty grouping
I watched out of curiosity....good job. My only suggestion would be to show the bullseye in a SQUARE grid...it's much easier to calculate windage and elevation. My guess is the circular example you use will be harder for beginners to understand.
100% correct about the first group. Marksmanship issues. I have roughly a 1/4 moa but for some reason no matter the adjustments it will hit either side of the red and never center hole lol maybe should zero it at 100 and try
There is a slim chance you are not shooting through the wobble area; let the crosshairs drift through the red and squeeze one off, see if that changes anything!
@@walterroberts1535 it’s also a 22 mag and there ammo isn’t really match competition stuff and those are the results I was expecting..I got it hitting 1 inch targets at 100 yards now, I was hard on myself about never getting center, but I’m gonna give that a try i appreciate that
@@walterroberts1535thanks for that I never knew there was wiggle room until i came back to this video years later. I always have to aim then dial backwards. Much appreciated video.
That was very well explained. But what when You have 1Click @ 1/8" @ 100Yd and You want to shoot below 100Yd. Like 50Yd or even 25Yd. And also the scope can magnifies from 6-24 times. How to calculate that in different magnifications?
1ft off the end of the muzzle to 100 yds is going to impact within inches. 1/8 would simply be 8 in lieu of 4 to get an inch change. It is always best to adjust your magnification to lowest setting; 3x9 set at 3 for initial impact points. Increasing magnification doesn't change the distance between your target and the end of the muzzle; however, increasing magnification is usually necessary for longer ranges and all the same calculations on the fly have to be considered... Distance to target, wind variations, projectile drop, mirage, temperature and even with precise calculations the physical control on bone support, position, muscle relaxation, breathing and squeezing off a round become more important as range increases!
So, the direction you turn the dials is the same direction the bullets will move on the next shot? i.e. 1.3 Mils (R) will change the next impact 1.3 Mils to the (R)?... Thanks!
I will explain the mechanics in another video, the indicated direction of the dials will move the shot essentially, in same direction...There is much more to explain in future videos. Thank you for watching and for your question!
All correctable! Never give up! I've instructed students whom never touched a rifle or handgun to shoot safer, more accurate and better forms than shooters with 40 years of experience...not all experience is good 😮
No, 8 clicks.. half the distance, twice the clicks.. at 200 yards 2 clicks=1".. at 400 yards each click =1 inch... best to start close (25 yards) and get centered, using big changes ( quarter to half turn, for example) then when you are hitting close to center move out to 100 yards and you should be close and can fine tune as shown..
My target is at 600m . How can I just put clicks and fire. When rifle is already zero and when target move from 600m to 700m , how to increase elevation clicks....wind is still
Honestly, I find the whole concept of elevation adjustment on top and windage adjustment on the side seriously flawed. It's counter-intuitive. That's why there are so many people out there asking questions like "which way do I turn this to adjust", that's also why many scopes have the windage turret marked 1L, 2L, 1R, 2R and so on, to make it clear which way is left or right. If you think about it, the direction of the rotation of the side turret is UP or DOWN, these directions should reflect ELEVATION adjustment. But all the scopes out there make the side turret for windage, which is adjustment left or right... Similarly, the top turret rotation is LEFT or RIGHT, and it should be used for left or right adjustment (windage). But someone had a bright idea to make it the elevation turret, and now everyone is guessing if they are going up or down. This is ridiculous. Yeah, you get used to it with time, but I always found this utterly stupid. Elevation and windage turrets should switch places.
So my question is if you zero at 20 meters using the same settings shoot at 50 meters how come the shots fly high considering there is no wind. I am using an AR 15 with a Zero Tech Scope
Acronym MOA is Minute of Angle, just a fancy way to count clicks, LOL. 1/60th of a degree, specific distance adjustments for projectile impacts; I will try to cover the more technical things associated with marksmanship in future videos.
thank you for getting to the point and making a video a reasonable length of time.

Thank you for watching, wow! That is the best compliment I believe I had ever received! Hopefully we wont disappoint in the future!
This will work for me! Thank you it’s been so long since I touched a Scope, I’m excited to get back into it Thank you for the review!
Very impressive video with exactly what I needed to know. You should write a book or I guess pamphlet 🤣😂🤣

Thank you for watching and I certainly appreciate your frustrations in watching ammo burn unnecessarily, lol!
Finally a simple video to explain how to adjust a scope. Thank you.
My metric scope is 10mm or 3/8 per click so 10 clicks for the 4"
Thank you for watching and the positive comment!
THANKYOU SO MUCH, I NOW FINALLY UNDERSTAND IT
That was very professional
Great intel. Never seen this type knowledge shared on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching; I appreciate that comment, it intrigues me knowing someone appreciates information on things which are useful!

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching! I agree the weapon is usually not the problem...Lol!
Incredible explanation and very concise thank you sir
No, no Thank you for watching!

very good and helpfull!!! Nice job!!!!!
Wow brilliant how fast he can print with chalk and his chalk never gets any shorter lol
Very good explanation. Simple and thorough. Not like some who just want to hear themselves talk. Great Video!!
Simple and well explained, thanks
Thank you for taking the time to view it!
Very well made video.
Thank you!
Great video 👍🏾
Thanks for watching
Your first assessment on 3 shots , I was in the woods , saying You're all 0ver the place 😅. Stable cradle for consistency, ik. .308 savage. 😂
Love the explanation!
Thank you much appreciated!
clear and concise... good job.

50 yds, first

You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Very well done.
Thank you for watching and for your input; that means a lot to me!
Thank you for the vid.

@@walterroberts1535 Thank You 😀
Great video Sir.
Thank you.
Thank you very much 😎
Thank you more for watching it!
So, the direction you turn the dials is the same direction the bullets will move on the next shot? i.e. 1.3 Mils (R) will change the next impact 1.3 Mils to the (R)?... Thanks!
I will go into the mechanical changes within the scope compared to open sites in another video; Thank you for watching!
Excellent video. I have a question, "how will I get to know that my scope has 1/4” MOA or else?"
Remove your turrets' caps on the scope, look on the dial, and it will be marked in click value and in either M.O.A. or MRAD
@@rickescover1862 Thank you so much
I see one of your fellow shooters answered your question and I appreciate your watching!
very usefull , thank you
But when you shoot right do you adjust left or right same with up or down
I will explain the mechanics in another video, the indicated direction of the dials will move the shot essentially, in same direction...There is much more to explain in future videos. Thank you for watching and for your question!
I wish I would had seen this before chasing my tail at the range trying to figure out how the turrets work
3:45 “These are marksmanship issues”
😭
All correctable! Never give up! I've instructed students whom never touched a rifle or handgun to shoot safer, more accurate and better forms than shooters with 40 years of experience...not all experience is good 😮
...I found 1/4 MoA adjustments too much @500 yards plus, so changed to a 1/8 MoA and it's much easier to zero on bull...
Wow
If 4 clicks to move 1 inch at 100 yards 2 clicks to move 1 inch at 50 yards?
No, 8 clicks.. half the distance, twice the clicks.. at 200 yards 2 clicks=1".. at 400 yards each click =1 inch... best to start close (25 yards) and get centered, using big changes ( quarter to half turn, for example) then when you are hitting close to center move out to 100 yards and you should be close and can fine tune as shown..
@@mikecollins8241 thank you buddy
I see your question was answered by a fellow shooter and I apologize for not getting back here sooner! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for helping Nightfoxz with his question! Thank you for watching as well. @@mikecollins8241
The shooter is shaky
Lol, I am not 25 any longer! Thank you for watching and for noticing!
inches ha?? it would be easy understand IF you would use cm not inches
How many centimeters in an inch
Man make it simple I don’t want that math bs
My target is at 600m . How can I just put clicks and fire. When rifle is already zero and when target move from 600m to 700m , how to increase elevation clicks....wind is still

Thank you for watching and remember if simple things are able to be complicated for no reason, humans will find a way to do it! lol
Clear and to the point. Thank you!
an retired police officer told me that a great( tight) grouping is when you shot all your rounds trough the same hole.excuse my spelling.😅
Best info for beginners and easily to understand! Ty
I certainly appreciate the compliment and please keep checking back as the intention is to continue on with the videos.
THANKS TO YOU!
Now I know..thank you for this
If you don’t know, now you know
So my question is if you zero at 20 meters using the same settings shoot at 50 meters how come the shots fly high considering there is no wind. I am using an AR 15 with a Zero Tech Scope
Great video thank you very
I need to thank you for watching it! Thank you!
Think you very much
You're more than welcome and thank you for watching!
Good vid thanks for taking the time
You bet, we appreciate it!
Thank you for the great teaching Sir. God bless you 😊
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
This is a great video. Thank you for making this video. I have subscribed to your channel.
That is great news and I appreciate that very much! Thank you, thank you!
What is marksmanship issues?
Poa move toward Poi simple
This is excellent
I will take an excellent, lol. Thank you very much for watching and the compliment!
Thank you.
And you for watching!
What is MOA,i am a beginner
minute of angle ; read your manual that came with scope
Acronym MOA is Minute of Angle, just a fancy way to count clicks, LOL. 1/60th of a degree, specific distance adjustments for projectile impacts; I will try to cover the more technical things associated with marksmanship in future videos.
🙏
Thank you for watching!
But what if my scope is in mils?? Just kidding😂
