figure out what dot to aim at for drop at different (known) distances
If you can shoot at targets with the crosshairs on the bullseye at 10, 30, and
60yds and tell me Which mildot it hit on each target, I will make you one for
every 5yds from 10 to 80yds that you can put in your scope cap… Let me
know if this is not well explained…
I was trying to look for a long range airgun simulation for you, but nothing found.
I found 1 for gunpowder here http://www.shooterready.com/lrsdemo.html
If you like it, you can download it for free here http://rapidshare.com/files/181632043/LRSS.2.rar
Once downloaded, extract file by using Winrar and burn the image to CD or using any virtual CD/DVD tool to mount the image and play off from your computer.
What kind of scope? Unless it is a FFP (front focal plane) the mil-dots aren’t accurate but at one specific power. So figuring out what the mil-dot measurements are doesn’t do you any good without being on the correct power.
However, I am having a bit of trouble hearing what you are saying. I keep thinking I understand, then I get confused again.
Are you wanting to know how to range with the scope, figure out how far away your target is? Or are you trying to figure out what dot to aim at for drop at different (known) distances?
thanks for the info guys
best way is to go out and shoot
measure the distances and aim for center each shot and as the yardage increases so does the drop showing you how far at what range just write down the drop for each range and at what magnafication used
i did all that maby its just me i cant seem to understand it (how to read it)
i guess what i need is a pic of the rectical with dots and the measurements by each one with center at 32yds im shooting kodes at 1140fps 3in scope height 6x scope power
I tihnk you can make 1 yourself by plugin your gun/scope info through the “ChairGun Pro”?
You can a free copy here http://www.hawkeoptics.com/us/chairgun/index.php
Is that what you wanted?
What exactly do you mean by a mil-dot chart?
This kind of thing work? There is a formula at the bottom. Take that and you can put in your own measurements and figure out exactly what you want. Say you want it for squirrels. Do 1″ tall, and do the formula with different distances. You can make your own chart so when you look at a squirrel through the scope, you can see how far it is.
Or better yet (and I’m going out on a limb here assuming you are just looking for squirrels or something) make a paper cutout that is the size of an average squirrel in your area. Put it at a known distance, and see the size in relation to your dots. Be quicker, and involve less math. 😉 😆
