Round target observation..

[Don McDowell]

Got to thinking about this in the Vortex scope discussion on the Shiloh board.
Over the course of time one thing I've come to notice is how many folks mistake a low hit ( miss on a steel target) at say 5 or 7 oclock as a need to make a big windage adjustment.Have seen many make the same mistake on diamond shaped gongs as well. But what it actually requires first is an elevation adjustment, then see if /how much wind is needed to get into the x ring. Often times a couple minutes elevation will be a ten ring, then touch the wind to the x ring.
Also folks over estimate in their minds how many minutes from one score ring to the next. Often times forgetting that just the bullet diameter of a 45, will occupy 1/2 minute at 100 yds, and a 1/4 at 2.
A little goes a long way, when making sight adjusts.
