Frequently Asked Questions

How do you adjust rifle scope turrets correctly?

When adjusting rifle scope turrets, remember you are moving the bullet's impact. If your shot hits left of the target, dial your scope right to move the bullet right. Similarly, adjust elevation based on whether the shot is high or low.

What is the best way to use a laser rangefinder for hunting?

For effective rangefinder use, first range the backstop beyond your target. This confirms the distance and ensures a safe backstop is present. Then, range the actual target to get its precise distance for your shot.

How can I achieve a stable shooting position without a bench?

To achieve stability without a bench, support the front of your rifle on an object like a tree or fence. Then, connect your body's bone structure from the ground to the buttstock, locking knees and staying upright for a solid platform.

What should a spotter focus on when observing a shot?

A spotter should focus intently on the bullet's impact point, not the target or animal. This discipline is crucial for accurately calling misses and providing effective feedback to the shooter.
