Videos tagged with Lateral Bullet Play

This video explains why shooting position doesn't affect rifle zero, contrary to common belief. The primary reason is proper parallax adjustment on the riflescope, which aligns the reticle and target images in the same focal plane, eliminating perceived reticle movement when the shooter's eye shifts. The presenter, Kurt, emphasizes that when the rifle is canted, gravity still acts vertically, but the induced lateral component of the bullet's trajectory is not compensated for by the scope's zero, leading to misses. This principle also applies to target declination.
