In this episode I shot pigeons at various distances and varying weather conditions, all within a single day. Shots were taken at close, medium and long ranges, in sunny weather and in rain.

@AirRifleActivities4 жыл бұрын
My zeros are are usually at 40 or 45 meters, bud. Sometimes people get confused though, because I often shoot at an upward angle of 30 to 45 degrees. Let alone the fact that some people don't understand the concept of holdover and holdunder and they criticize. As for the problems you mentioned, try to adjust carefully your camera mount to the eyepiece of your scope. I always make a quick check before I even go out of my house. With a GoPro or a smartphone it's easy to perform this check, because you have a screen to observe. With your Tactacam perhaps you could record a couple of vids before you go out and check them on your pc to make sure it's in focus and positioned properly in relation to the eyepiece. Cumbersome, I know...

The white one at 03:00 - I miscalculated wind as in there was a gust at this very moment from the opposite direction - watch closely. I held a bit to the left and it turned out the gust was coming from the right. The one at 03:52 - this one is also on me, I shifted my aim a little just before I pulled the trigger, I admit it. I had no stable support, and I'm not using sticks or bipods. As for my learning abilities and medical condition - I appreciate the concern, I'm fine, thank you. Thanks for watching too.
