lampingking 3 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 My little Bruno .22 is sighted at 50 yards, but if I want to shoot something at 15 yards for example how much lower do I aim ???? thanks lk Quote Link to post
hutchey 147 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 If you have a hawke scope you can download the brc software and it gives you loads of info on this. I suspect it works for other scopes too Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 If you don't have a hawk scope but you have some sort of mil dot scope you can still use the software its pritty decent .. Or Go out and put a piece of paper at 15 yards, shoot it and see the aim point on your scope ATB Adam 1 Quote Link to post

andyf 144 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi: Yes dead right AR177, no 'software' 'hardware' or 'slightly pliable ware' needed, just put a sheet of A4 paper at the distance you require, draw a 3/4" filled in circle with a black felt pen, centre it on your scope, bang, then look at how high the hole is, that's how much you need you need to aim under.

AR177 588 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Any one else know??? You want someone to give you an exact aim point for your rifle ? ? Every rifle and scope combination will have a different point of impact, your whole set up .. rifle, scope choice, mount choice, mount height, eye relief, round choice will all effect where your round lands no one can tell you exactly where your setup is going to hit at 15 yards.. just go out and shoot a target 15 yards away and see where it hits on your scope Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 shoot any of my guns and all will shoot high and to the right due to my stigmatisum :laugh: get the fook out there and practice Quote Link to post
bear-uk 17 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 shoot any of my guns and all will shoot high and to the right due to my stigmatisum :laugh: get the fook out there and practice And you will get the same answer for every other distance you want to shoot at. Top tip. Paper plates from the pound shop and find a flat 100yd piece of land. 1 Quote Link to post
riflehunter583 58 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 if you want I will send you a copy of my eley subs trajectory for my .22lr. it took me ages of range work to make it. at 20 yards and 50 yards mine is centre cross. at 10/12 yards its about - 2 mill rads. Bellow centre cross. 30 and 40 are 0.2 mill rads above cross. Quote Link to post
walshie 2,804 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Why not shoot it at 15 yards and find out? 2 Quote Link to post
sussex 5,777 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 By the time you read all these replies you could have put enough rounds through it to know , nothing teaches you more than doing it yourself ..Your rifle , your ammo , your scope , your practice = your knowledge .. 1 Quote Link to post
vitalspark 4 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Go to the Federalpremium.com website, look under rimfire for the round closest to what you shoot then check out the graph for 'average range' and that should give you a rough idea as they use a 50 yard zero. Quote Link to post
jam1e 12 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm with the "get out and try it" group. I know Hawke scopes get slagged off. But I love the Hawke Panorama EV range. And i've got one on my .22lr and .17hmr. However I've used the Hawke Ballistic Range Calculator (BRC) several times, and found it totally inaccurate. I've put the needed data into the BRC accurately as possible several times, but it's still way off. Maybe it's atmospherics???? Mine are zeroed at 50 yards on the range. I then just practiced on the 25 yard and 100 yard range to get the right hold over/under. They don't do a 75 yard range at our club so i just went out in the field to do it. In short, just get out there, pace it out and pratice. It doesn't take long. And it's fun to boot! Good luck Quote Link to post
GEOFF.223 83 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Find a rabbit at 15yards and keep shooting until you hit it then remember ur holdunder ¿¿¿¿¿¿ Quote Link to post
