4. Fire one round at the center of the target, taking care not to change the position of the rifle.
5. Using a spotting scope or binoculars, identify the bullet hole on the target.
6. Using the windage and elevation adjustment dials on your scope, adjust the position of the
crosshairs to align with the bullet hole. The elevation dial is located on top of the scope, while
the windage dial is located on the right of the scope. Each click of the adjustment dial will
move the position of the crosshairs by ½ MOA or roughly ½ inch at 100 yards.
7. Once the crosshairs are aligned with the bullet hole, aim again at the center of the target
and repeat the process until you are consistently hitting the center of the target.

The horizontal hash marks below the center crosshairs are designed to approximate the bullet
drop of a typical high velocity round (2800 feet/second muzzle velocity) at 200, 300, 400 and
500 yards. Please note that these marks are designed to be used as reference points. Bullet
drop will vary from rifle to rifle depending on the ballistics of the round being used and the
shooting conditions.
