Hi all , I made a mistake in the vid ,text is wrong at 1.39min ,it should be :-
above zero range, if pellet low, lower BC.
above zero range, if pellet high, Raise BC
sorry for the stuff up 😕
ta @Glimpsedshow
Soooooo glad you made this video ,I zeroed my zulus today and all was great until I went from 30 yards to 12 yards and the POI was near 2" low ,so watched your video a few times and now pellet on pellet, had to set the scope hight from 7.7cm to almost 9cm ,thanks once again and I've mentioned your channel on the Vixen and arken FB groups 😊
Thanks 🙂 , I get the same with low POI at times , not sure as why as some people get it correct with there first measurement ! Glad you got it sorted 👍 its a great scope once you've adjusted a little .
Mahalo!
My red dot is doing the same thing at close range now I need to find a way to raise my mount
Outstanding! This is by far the best ballistics tutorial that I've ever seen! Thank you Sir snd THANK YOU for being honest!🙏👍🏼👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿👍
@@Brianbri-nq3cc Thanks, appreciate you saying that 😁
Volume much much better this video couldn’t of come at a better time because for the first time on Saturday I’m gonna change pellets to a heavier weight you have made this very simple well done and thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for the comments , its good to know I'm going in the right direction .Hope the weather is good for you Saturday 👍
@andydowden8117 I zeroed my Vixen short in .177 with Airarms deablo fields 8.4gr, and I tried Hades deablo 10.34gr and they both had the same POI at 30 yards and 12 yards ,so I didn't need to make another ballistic table 😊
Fantastic information! Had my Zulus for a couple of days now, love playing around with it, but your videos have made it so easy to get the best out of it! Thank you 😊
@@waxie1969 Thanks for that🙂 it's a good little scope 👍 takes time to get familiar with it but worth it 😁
Thank you for sharing such an informative video. Your tips on making the necessary adjustments were very helpful.🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the comment 👍 knowing it helping people makes putting in the time worth it 🙂
Used this method with DNT ThermNight on .22 Kral NP-02 with JSB Hades zeroed at 25m with a slight increase in the BC its now good from 5-50m and dropping drink cans at 70m 😊😊😊
Thanks for the video and correction on BC adjustment
HI, excellent 🙂,great rifle the NP-02 ,I have a .177 ,accurate and with a big shot count 👍. What do think of the ThermNight.
@@cjoutdoors8264 I like it... The LRF/BC seem to work really well once tweaked using the method in this video.
IIRC BC varies with range so I guess you average it out over the working range you want.
Pity it"s 4/3 format (Probably due to the thermal) which means fov is a bit tight but at night I use the thermal as the main window which is wide enough with the NV as the PIP window.
I have the 940 nm IR option and it seems pretty stealthy...
I have some 10000mah power banks that I fit to a piece of picatinny rail on the side of the scope and they run it all night. If you try using the LRF when the battery level drops the whole scope switches off .
I stream the video to a 10.2" tablet so I don't have to stare into the scope all night. There's about a 1 second latency so it's no good for taking the shot.
My previous NV was a Sytong HT-66 behind Vicoptics C3 so a bit of a step up.
I built and insulated hotbox target and use foil backed targets to zero the Day/NV first the impact point then shows up as a hotspot to zero the thermal - currently have a 10mm group with 6 shots Day/NV and 6 shots thermal at 25m .
@@PeterSmith-n1y 👍 BC can seem to drift at longer ranges ,I sometimes wounder if it the pellets! I just use them straight out the tin . At times there on the mark sometimes not .
Zulus will do the same on low battery, just switch off , it does give you a battery at 20% warning ,at that point I should just change the battery.
Thanks for taking the time for your write up , sounds like you got a great setup ,you've put some effort into it 👍 . You should make a little vid of it 🙂 . DNT seem to be going in the right direction with there scopes
Great explanation mate and a good clear vid. Am I correct in thinking this would work in theory on any scope with a ballistic calculator, such as the Alpex lrf or the Oneleaf commander nv400 that also need the BC and scope hight put into them? Not got one yet but if this is a way to fine tune it will save air and pellets. Many thanks
Hi, thanks🙂, yes I think this works on all ballistic calculators 👍. This is my first and only BC scope . There a great bit of kit. Takes a bit of time to work out all the buttons but worth it 👍
@@cjoutdoors8264Thank you so much Sir for being honest!🙏 There is so many channels/people out there that get paid to do reviews and they would have lied and answered this question with "No, it only works on this scope"😞 But you are honest and that truly helps everyone in the airgun community so I say again, THANK YOU!👍🏼👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿👍
Hi mate. I'm confused. Above zero range, if the shots hitting below the Ballistically calculated new point of aim, surely that means that the BC inputted is too High so you need a lower BC. your text says to increase it
In the video your shot hit above the Ballistically calculated new point of aim and you RAISED the BC. In your instructions via text you say to LOWER the BC. Im very confused as to which it is?
@@Glimpsedshow Hi, you are correct 😯 I stuffed up there! I guess most don't take notice of the text and just follow the vid I'll have to decide to delete vid or put a comment in description . Thanks for pointing it out 👍
@@cjoutdoors8264 Haha no worries. Not trying to beat you up just wanted clarity as i was super confused. I'm in the process of setting up my arken on a .177 >12 - Is the text you put about the scope height below point of ballistically calculated point of aim correct?
@@Glimpsedshow sorry mate as you said text is wrong, I'm well miffed I got it wrong
@@cjoutdoors8264 Could you let me know what the correct thing to do is for below zero, in regards to scope height?
Brilliant Thanks for this
Thanks, glad you liked it 🙂
I bought one. I have a few questions is you have time. I can't seem to get it to focus clearly at 10 yards, like I have seen people do in their homes at night. Also as I look farther, it seems to require using the focus adjustment similar to using binoculars of parallax adjustment.. All of this at night. Is this what is normal?
Hi, mine focuses down to about 4 yds , range finder at about 11 yds, it is a little focus fussy, as in small adjustment make a big difference. I haven't noticed a different between day and night though.
Can you do a video mate on how to set the ballistics up like how to measure the scope height etc
Hi, lv done a ballistic app setup video , have a look down the list of my videos . Scope hight is centre of barrel to centre scope, but can do a small vid on how to.
Measure the diameter of the scope and the diameter of the barrel, add the 2 numbers then divide by half. Take the distance between the bottom of the scope and the top of the barrel and add to the previous number and that is the calculation. I hope that helps.
Wow that's a massive drop to 50 y. Is that a sub 12ftlb rifle ?
Hi, yes sub 12ftlb ,my legal limit ,its putting out around 11.4ftlb with these pellets.
@@cjoutdoors8264 damn that was quick! I really appreciate the response. Just ordered mine in 5-20 with the 850 torch. Seems like I did the right thing by not getting the pard nv008sp2. Cheers bud. Great shooting btw.
@@mohba01 its Saturday I got a day off 🙂 its a good scope , takes a bit of tinkering to start with but once done 👍.
hopefully you'll pleased when you get it on your rifle 😁. Ta about the shooting 😁
Great content buddy
Thanks 🙂 glad your liking it .
Fantastic information, but I am stuck. The Zulus is on a .22lr. I dont have chronograph so I have used Eley specs. Did the one shot zero at 50 metres. Spot on. Checked it at with LRF at 25 metres poi slightly high. Adjusted the scope height down from 7cm to 6.5cm and uploaded the new table and it is now spot on. Now the problem begins. 100metre target. Ranged it with LRF. Shoots 12 inches too low. Increased BC from .139 (eley specs) to .25. Uploaded the new table. Hardly any difference. Jumped it up again to .45. No change at all. What do I need to do to hit the centre at 100 metres?
Hi, don't know if I can be of much help to you with this, my guess would be your FPS is wrong, I had similar when I used wrong FPS, I mixed up 2 rifle readings. Do you know anyone with a chronograph you could use.
Thanks for your quick reply. I dont know anyone with a cronograph. However do you know what the effect of increasing or decreasing velocity would be on targets past the zero point? Your information on scope height and BC was very handy. Could you do the same for velocity please?
@@chrismann9411 just read your post again, should you not be lowering BC, I don't understand your numbers there.
Don't know anything about velocity adjustments, try ,reset BC to standard value, then reduce velocity to see what it does.
Velocity is the important one you need to know.
I only use air rifles, like I said previous when I had velocity wrong I struggled to get distance shots right.
Thanks again. I will try that today. I read somewhere that the Eley subs could be as low as 985 fps even though there specs sat 1040fps.
Hi, I have just bought the Arken Zulus 520R, I’m having some trouble with the setup & was wondering if you may be able to assist me?
hi, well I can try .What are you having problems with .
@@cjoutdoors8264 thank you getting back so quick, I was having trouble with the predictive POA which was as much has 2.5 MRAD out at 55 yards, I have since played around with the scope height which must be wrong so, I increased the height which has brought it around where I think it should be, only problem is I can’t test it now until I go to the club again. Watching your video has pointed me in the right direction I think.
@@davidcarradice2866 If its off/wrong at distance ,adjust the ballistic coefficient , adjust the scope height for your close up target . I always seem to have to change the scope height , although I think Iv measured it right !
@@cjoutdoors8264 so, should I change to coefficient from what the manufacturers say it is?
@@davidcarradice2866 Yes change BC. I believe BC can change slightly from rifle to rifle , different barrels and different FPS can alter it , or so I'm lead to believe !. In the video I went from .023 to .027 to get it on target .
The other factor is FPS , I think the more accurate that is the less you have to adjust the other settings , I need to invest in a better quality chronograph to test that :)
This is a great video, anyway you can replicate this video with the DNT software and name it DNT zulus this way I can share it with DNT users. Not everyone is aware it was something else and dont want the confusion if I link it.
@@Brawler.1588 Hi thanks, I'll give it a go 👍 just need time and weather on my side 🙂
