Bobba Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Rifles can not be used on one of the farms where I shoot and at my age (will never see 70 again!!) carrying around my AA S410 with NV is a bit of a chore. So I dreamt up this mini spotter (Thanks to a pm hint from Davyo some time back) which I mounted on my Webley and Scott 410 The mount is one which has both a vertical and lateral adjustment screws so that it can be zeroed. It works a treat Edited October 17, 2016 by Bobba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Very handy - did you program a crosshair into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Very handy - did you program a crosshair into it? Hi Dave, Wouldn't know how or where to start. I kept the screen protector film in place and having measured the vertical and horizontal 1/2 way screen points I used a fine felt tip to join them to form a cross. I then clipped wallpaper pieces to a hedge with a big black mark in their centres and used the mount adjusters to zero at 25 yds. A simple (some may say"crude") approach but it is a shotgun so finite accuracy is not critical. And it works. Out again tonight if not raining. Bob PS: is there a way of programming crosshairs?

The drawn crosshair is near enough for a shotgun - In early Watec camera days I opted for thin strips of go faster stripe till a cross hair generator turned up. Did your camera come with an OSD joystick on the back or built into a cable? Depending on which one it is - if any, I made these two videos which might help, but bear in mind I'm slightly dyslexic and its possible that only I knew what I was trying to show. lol: I disliked the performance of the cheaper camera's and never quite got to grips with building the crosshairs in a way that I could comfortably describe or show - I cannot recall how to build the privacy zones but this is how to move them lol.

Bobba Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi Dave Thanks for videos The camera is the one from Sure 24 which every seems to be using. It has a little adjuster type thingy on the back but I've never fiddled with it Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a play and remember to hit the SAVE button if you get it right - if not then don't hit SAVE and it will return to its previous state. There is also a reset function if it all goes Pete Tong.
