Phil9 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hiya guys been out tonight doing abit of ratting!! Zeroed in yesterday after I got home from work,my NV is the archer that fits directly onto the back of any scope,,so no need to adjust my zero!! Well tonight I couldn't hit a rat for toffee?,,and can understand why all my shots were taken around 15 to 35 yards but I didn't hit a single rat and believe me after 24 shots I'd had enough! Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5x55SE Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Personally I'd put a target up and see where your rifle is printing . I used a add on similar to a Archer which i swap between 12flb Air Rifle - 17hmr and 6.5x55 works superb yes i occasionally miss but it's Pilot error not the Rifles or NV.

FalconFN Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I don't know the archer particularly, but if you didn't knock the rifle then it could just be parallax error . If the parallax is out and NV unit doesn't sit exactly where you're eye sits then your poa will be off. scope with adjustable objectives are best with add on NV units so you can adjust for the different focus point for infrared light.

Whitester Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Sounds like your adapter has come off the scope slightly causing miss alignment . The only other thing could be a whack to the scope /barrel. If it’s an air rifle then maybe check your air gauge, could be a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 What is the scope. If you've backed the ocular adjustment ring out to suit your eyes take a look through whilst trying to wiggle it up and down (slop in the threads), you may find your answer. Don't despair if you observe your cross hair moving in relation to your target due to sloppy threads or absence of a locking ring, insulation tape is there to save you.
