Nice video mate you did blow my mind a bit with the maths 😀 mathematics was never my strong point. Im going to try hft soon at maldon as my shooting has improved with watching your tips i feel nearly confident to take part

excellent video my friend very detailed. for me if my neck don’t hurt that much as i look up the tree at the target its bottom of kill zone but if i am having to strain it its half a kill zone 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but that took a fair few tins to work that out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so in my cases it know your pain 🤣🤣🤣 pretty much any under 45 degree angle i am as normal

The point of shooting is to minimise the amount of effort necessary to hit a target. Ergo: nice, simple, lazy benchrest is the pinnacle of shooting and therefore all I'm interested in 😊

Thanks! Yes, that would be great. Please contact me at hftshooteruk@gmail.com to discuss.

Just another quick point. The closer you can get the centre of your scope to the barrel, will help with the amount of hold over and under required. With my zero, set at 25 yards, the hold over for 45 yards, is only .75 of a mil dot. Obviously make sure you have a little clearance, so that the scope doesn’t touch the barrel. I am sure other scopes may vary though. Like you said, it is very much a case of trial and error. 👍

Thanks Phil. Just passing on the stuff I'm picking up as I'm learning.

Very nicely done, thank you. Sorry to be a pedant and this is a small technical question. Regarding parallax and the 100% and 50% of maximum error - would these be squares rather than circles? On the smaller target that would put the 100% error just outside the target if your eye was maximum out of line on both windage and elevation. You did encourage us to think about it for ourselves! 🤣

@hftshooter

7 ай бұрын

Gold star for thinking outside the box! But if you think about it, the errors will always be an equal distance in all directions from your reticle aim point so that can only be a circle not a square.

@drleighmj

7 ай бұрын

@@hftshooter That does make sense - you could not move your eye maximum of both at the same time because the scope is round - boing. You are right.

Basically, shooting up or shooting downward , you place the mil dot approx 1inch low on the target.

@hftshooter

Well, it depends on each horizontal range and it's associated aim pint, but if that works for you great.

What about prismatic scopes, that are both fixed mag and effectively parallax free? Best choice for hft?

@hftshooter

6 ай бұрын

Personally, the only limiting factor for me with the current prismatic scopes is the reticle. They don't do a half mildot reticle which is a shame. If you can manage with limited aim points then go for it.

Isn,t there a differens if the crosshair is before or after the lins in the scope, when talking about reticle size and dots?

@hftshooter

Ай бұрын

Not sure what you mean, but whether it's mrad or moa the reticle marks should be constant across the reticle. They will only show true measurements at one specific magnification.

@@hftshooter In some scoopes the crosshair vill bee bigger compaind too the target with a bigger focus, i might not use the right worlds, but it must bee a differense if the scope have different accuracy dependent on magnificasent. If so, the thin haircross should bee the only way too get a deesent hit!? I,m sorry but i,m a Swedish spring powered shooter with a AA TX 200. And i love it!

OK, I think I get what you mean now. Yes, on some scopes the lines are too thick and I too find they get in the way when aiming. I also find the reverse is true with too fine a line especially when shooting HFT targets. I guess you just have to find a scope with a reticle that suits you. All the best.

I have a problem translating British to American,other than that good video.

Sorry about that Dale but UK is my main audience. 🙂

Prob dumb question, but when doing a range card and trying to aim at a super blurry line at 45 yards because you’re parallax is 25 yards, is it ok to change parallax to 45 yards without consequence for those shots so you can aim more accurately at the line? Do you know what I mean?

@hftshooter

7 ай бұрын

There are no dumb questions mate. When you're doing your range card, for sure you want to adjust your focus for each range to get the most accurate results you can.

@stephenpearson8720

7 ай бұрын

Personally I don’t adjust parallax for each range,as this is how a competition would be shot.So it makes more sense to set scope as it would be used.If there’s parallax error there you can see it and see what adjustments if any you can make with head position etc to improve it.

@stephenpearson8720

7 ай бұрын

Just to add if iam pellet testing etc I will adjust parallax to get best groups possible,just not when iam doing final range card

Any advice for 1st focal plane scope users??

@hftshooter

6 ай бұрын

As you probably know, at a fixed mag your scope behaves the same as a SFP. Your benefit comes with being able to change mag and keep one set of aim points as the reticle changes size to compensate. Not much use to an HFT shooter like me, but very useful for hunting where you may want to constantly change your mag.

Why is it no use for you? Would it not be easier??

@hftshooter

6 ай бұрын

Yes it would be much easier, but in the rules that I shoot to you cannot adjust your scope after your first shot. So I'm limited to only one magnification setting for the entirety of the competition.

@MrTaz0079

So you are unable to make any adjustments to the scope at all during a competition? not even focus(Range finding)@@hftshooter
