410PHIL Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi folks I have read somewhere that if you zero your scope at 10 yards it is also perfect zero at 50 yards Is this complete tripe or not ? Also if it was zeroed at 10/50 yards would it be zeroed to all distances between these two ?? Phil :lol: :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 depends on the rifle/calibre/etc. pellets travel in an arced trajectory, so there will be two points the same - but as to what they are, that will depend on your setup. zero it at whatever range you'll normally shoot at (i'd suggest 30 yards), then move it back 10 yards at a time, checking the zero - you'll learn the different points of impact as different ranges. i wouldn't recommend shooting above 30 yards unless you have gained some experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 What he said. Won't be the same between 10 50. Because the scope is above the gun, the pellet shoots upwards to reach the target. This is the first zero. the pellet then rises to a peak at, lets say, 35 yards, then will drop into the target at 50 yards. That's why you need to hold under at targets closer than your zero.
