Chairgun pro

[Michael5 2]

Hey , I was just wondering do you have to have a hawke scope to use this software and if not I have a nikko Stirling 4-16x44 with 4 horizontal mildotes either side of the centre and 4 vertical ones , could anyone give me some advice on which reticle to choose on the software for my scope ?

Hi Michael, The Hawke Chairgun Pro is designed to work with the Hawke optics, no wheather it works on your particular scope that depends if your optics are the same as the Hawkes. All you could do is a lot of range trials, you would have to type in some information from your particular guns performance and pellet weight and then see if your figures equal those that Hawke Chairgun Pro say you should have.

Sorry to be so vague but it is written by Hawke for Hawke scopes.

As said above, it's mainly for Hawke optics but it can work fine as a decent guide with other makes. Try the 'generic mil-dot' option and go from there

i believe there is a 'generic mildot' setting which should be what your looking for

Yes there is a generic mildot option!

[ghillies 209]

dowload it it is free after all.

 

'tools'

'calculators'

then eather 'calculate clicks per moa'

or 'calculate dot stop (moa/dot)' to set any dot spacing in you have.

 

theres a help option too.

 

first thing you'll find is the 0-10 yard bit might be out but the rest is damn close or spot on, the reason is the manufacturers tolerences on scopes n guns do actualy vary a litle bit, just tweek it. its close enough with ruler measred scope heights etc if yu just cant be arsed like lol.

Yes it will work on other scope makes with a genetic mildot, you can also change the settings to work on other type mildot scopes.

 

You could technically make it perfect for the mamba too if you were clever enough with the software.

 

Si.

Thanks for all the help guys , I'm going to try and calibrate my mildots today using the software

Start at your zero range, say 25 metres. Play with the magnification settings until you get 5 metre steps, set scope magnification to that, move target back 5 metres, see how far out it is!

[ghillies 209]

word to the wiser on scope setting up, the longer you do it the more your eyes 'change', might sound weird but they do. e.g. 10-60x setting up the big wheel for distances on 50 mag, start at 5 yards then 55 yards, so theres a definate change to see and your eyeball aint locking on the same thing and getting the TV BOGGLE EYE EFECT.

[Michael5 2]

I'm having trouble measuring my distances without a rangefinder , is paving out yards just as good ?

[Michael5 2]

Sorry spelt "pacing" wrong

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Not really, go mad and buy a 10 metre tape and a tent peg!

[ghillies 209]

go mad and look about for 50m wind up one...probably find one for 10-15 quid.

[Michael5 2]

I think I'll buy a laser rangefinder , anybody got any Rangefinders they would recommend ?
