The main task of optics is to providethe most accurate aiming of weapons at the target. But in order to achieve such high efficiency in the use of such equipment, you need to know a few simple rules. For example, as in pneumatics to aim an optical sight. In the majority of cases, quite detailed instructions are attached to any such devices. In it you can read the full order of installation, adjustment and further maintenance.
How to choose?
Before you shoot on pneumaticsriflescope, you need to choose. And the purchase of one or another model should be conditioned by a number of factors. Pay attention to the following characteristics:
- multiplicity;
- sighting mark;
- the complexity and variety of available settings;
- lens diameter;
- the presence of mounting rings and brackets;
- manufacturer.
At the same time it is necessary to understand correctly that in the processtraining will need to use only those ammunition that you are going to use most often in the future. This is extremely important. This is because, on pneumatics, you need to adjust a telescopic sight, ideally, you need exactly the arsenal on which you rely.
Installation
Before installing optics, you shouldmake sure that the airguns are fully discharged and there is no combat platoon. Also be sure to check the status of the fuse. Only then do the installation, as on pneumatics to adjust the telescopic sight normally you will not work if you put it wrong. The very procedure of its installation is as follows:
- The sight is placed on the guides.It is not recommended to fasten the mounting rings closer to the center of the optics, and also to press them to the edges. Try to achieve a position in which the sighting tube will not move and will not be able to deform. Few people understand that even microscopic damage can adversely affect the functionality of the correction mechanism. And you are unlikely to be able to normally hit even special targets for pneumatics.
- Fitted upper rings.After you are convinced of the correct installation of the sight, you will need to adjust it. Be sure to pay attention to the fact that the crosshair is installed vertically, then apply the weapon to the shoulder and adjust the distance to the eye.
- Fixation. The main thing - do not be too zealous with twisting the screws. Quite often it happens that people simply deform the tube.
The most optimal sighting base is"Weaver." It is worth noting that in the installation process you need to pay attention to the "moon", that is, the strip of light diffraction. If it is the same everywhere, then you managed to do everything right. In the process of how you choose a high-quality telescopic sight, prices are a factor to which you should also pay attention. The cheapest ones cost 500-600 rubles. The price of expensive copies can exceed 30 thousand.
It is very important that the device itself and the rings befrom one manufacturer. Also, do not forget to check the purchased parts for tolerance, for which specially sharpened steel cylinders can be used. In addition, pay special attention to various fine-tuning optics. In particular, check the level of the sight with the help of vertical lines.
Choose a distance and position
In the process of how you will try to hittargets for pneumatics, you will need to carry out a regular change of position. And experts recommend starting from a distance of about 50 meters. After measuring the distance, set the target and fix the pneumatics carefully. It should be noted that you can do shooting only at specialized shooting ranges or at some terrain where hunting is allowed. So any optical sight is targeted - the prices of the device and its type here do not play any role.
The procedure itself is carried out from the prone position,and the use of soft stops is not allowed. The rifle will need to be fixed so that you can ideally aim the open sight at the point. Crosshair leads are carried out using specialized adjustment screws. And only then is the first test shot. If you do not use a collimator sight for pneumatics, then in this case in the future the distance will need to be constantly increased. Thus, first you shoot at a distance of 100 meters, then move away to 200, to 300, and so on.
In this case, the division of the adjustment screwsneed to carefully record for each distance. The procedure here is significantly different from how the standard reflex sight for pneumatics is targeted. In the role of a hard rifle stop quite often, many prefer to use specialized machines. But if you don’t have it at hand, then in that case you can simply fill the bag with sand and apply it. The main thing - the use of a fairly firm position of the rifle on the shot.
Choose a target
Before you determine the distance of the shot,you need to select the appropriate target. It should be noted that quite often experienced hunters have different opinions about it. There are several options.
- A sheet of paper on which the target is drawn by hand. It is worth noting that the round should not be shaded. And it is best to draw it with a marker.
- Download and print target.Today there is a fairly large variety of varieties available. But at the same time it is worth noting that there are different options for rifled and smooth-bore weapons.
- Military targets. They often can be found in specialized parts. And this is the best option.
In addition, colored targets on the ground can be seen much better than black and white. Therefore, with them it will be easier for you to determine the distance and conduct aimed fire.
What is better to use?
Quite often, many have recently begunuse self-adhesive colored sheets. They need to stick on the central part of a standard white sheet. It should be noted that in the majority of cases experienced hunters are absolutely sure that home-made targets are much more effective compared to those purchased in the store or printed out, as it is much easier to shoot a rifle scope with them.
A roll of defective paper on which a markerthe marking is put, completely surpasses the standard thin listing in the characteristics. The main reason for this efficiency is that dense material can easily withstand even quite strong gusts of wind in the process of conducting field tests of optics.
Graduation
It is also worth noting that there is a certain gradation of targets depending on what class of weapon is used and at what distance the fire is fired:
- Carabiner (distance - 100 m) - solid album sheet A-4.
- Carabiner (distance - 200 m) - A-3.
- Carabiner (distance - 300 m) - A-1.
- Small-caliber rifle (distance - 50 m) - A-4.
We are aiming a weapon
After installationoptics, made all the other preparatory work, you can proceed directly to the procedure itself zeroing. First of all, you should remember that the average offset of the hit depending on the selected aiming point over time will need to be changed. And if you drew the target yourself, then you will need to draw both features - vertical and horizontal. Now that the sight grid is ready for defeat, consider the step by step procedure:
- Training. This includes the procedure of drawing or buying targets, installing a machine or a standard sandbag, as well as the subsequent arrangement of the position and measurement of the firing distance.
- Adjustment.Installing a rifle on a portable machine, adjust the position of the crosshairs. This is done with the help of specialized adjustment drums. Your main task in this case is to ensure the crosshair with the selected point.
- Trial attempt. When you are convinced that the aiming mark is aimed at the target point, pull the trigger.
- Determine sighting distance.This was already mentioned earlier - after the rifle has been shot at a distance of 50 meters, you need to do the same at a distance of 100, 200 and 300 meters. To shift the point of impact to the left, the reticle must be shifted to the right side.
- We write down the received information.Not everyone correctly understands that the divisions on the adjustment drums for each individual distance play a special role. Therefore, they should always be written down in detail. Side drum must be set constantly.
What's next?
Target checking is done after youmake about three to five shots. After analyzing the hit and additional adjustment of the optics, as well as adjusting the bracket for an optical sight, try to make a repeated group of shots. Produce them until the bullets are as close as possible to the center of your target.
Стоит отметить, что в случае с нарезным оружием optics zeroing has several differences, since the distance here starts from 150 meters and ends at a distance of 400. At the same time, you need to understand that you cannot achieve absolute flatness. Therefore, it is best to concentrate on the average distance, that is 200-250 meters.
Customize
Modern sights are equipped with specialdiopter adjustment, due to which the arrows with different vision can use it equally. If the setting is incorrect, the aiming net can be out of focus. As a result, additional tension will be created for the eyes.
Focusing and tuning
Parallax is a visible movementtarget, which is fixed by the eye relative to the grid sight. In the process of head movement, you can turn your attention to these changes in the eyepiece. Therefore, there are three main types of parallax detuning: rear, front and side.
How to configure them?
The rear can be adjusted byzoom and ring. But at the same time, it is worth noting that today it is not so often to find sights with a similar focus in shops. In the majority of cases, modern front focus devices are equipped with a special rotating lens housing. Side-trimming sights have also been used more frequently lately, as they provide extremely simple access to the tuning wheel.
The main disadvantage of the second method when itrelatively small price is inconvenience. Scrolling in the position of making parallax rings is not so convenient, because it is localized directly on the lens. The SF mechanism has a large side wheel. Due to this, the shooter can not change the position of the head and body.
Backlight adjustment
It is worth noting that the lights todaynot used in every modern sight. It is used in order to distinguish it from the visible image at dusk or against the background of vegetation. At the same time, it is necessary to understand correctly that it should not overlap the goal. Therefore, it is better to stop your choice on those models that provide for adjustment. In most cases, the backlight is green or red. But in deep twilight the most effective is double. Modern sights taken to equip the LEDs. They highlight the grid selectively or completely, but sometimes only the point in the crosshairs is highlighted. Now you know how to target an optical sight on pneumatics. Good luck to you hunting!
