Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of heat mirage in long-range shooting?

Heat mirage distorts the shooter's view of the target, especially on hot days, by creating wavy lines from rising hot air. This phenomenon requires elevation compensation and careful observation to maintain a clear sight picture and achieve accurate shots at extended distances.
