To be honest at those ranges with a .177 the pellet will only deviate between 0.5" - 1.5" obove and below zero so not a lot of over or under needed.

 

Take a small torch or headlamp out at night with you. Wherever you put your target and pace it out, just light up the target and start zeroing.

 

I do it all the time works for me

Hi chap, go to this website.. www.hawkeoptics.com

 

And download the BRC software files. they will send you an email with two files to download.. These are two graphs that you can put in your pellet weight and ft/lb of your gun plus other bits of info.. And it will show you the arc of the pellet.. very usefull tool.. even if you are not using Hawke sights.. It looks a bit technical but it's easier than you think..

i dont know my muzzle velocity all i know is it is 11.22ft/lb

Hi Beggsy pal,

 

I was just about to say have a look at Davy's really good scope cam footage about shooting with a .177, but now seen that he read the thread before me LOL.

 

As you see from his footage he can whack all them targets buddy from 1 zero point at that distance he zeroes at (35 yards)

 

I don’t really shoot .177 pal but will try to assist you where I can and try to point you in the right direction.

 

Davy is your man in this thread buddy.

 

Kind regards

 

Si.

 

Hey Viper thanks for the kind comments about me and Davy buddy.
