A spotting scope can help you place shots on your target.
A spotting scope can be a useful tool for shooters. A spotting scope will have a magnification level ranging from 15x to 60x. This is a much higher level of magnification than you will likely have for your rifle scope. Using a spotting scope will allow you to see holes in the target that are not visible with the naked eye or through a gun's scope. Whether you are shooting competitively or for recreation, being able to shoot using a spotting scope can be helpful.
Instructions
1. Set up the spotting scope before you begin shooting. Make sure you can easily see the target through the scope without moving it. The numbers and lines of the target should be easily visible. If your spotting scope has an adjustable magnification setting, you may need to zoom in or out to get the best view.
2. Fire a single shot at the target. Be aware of exactly where on the target your sights are when you squeeze the trigger.
3. Look at the target through the spotting scope. If the shot did not hit the target where you were aiming, adjust your rifle scope or sights appropriately.
4. Fire a second shot at the target. If you adjusted your sights correctly, the new hole should be closer to your point of aim than the first hole. Continue to adjust the sights after each shot until the gun and its sights are aligned correctly.
5. Check the spotting scope after each shot. Even after you have adjusted your sights correctly, continue to check the placement of each shot with the spotting scope. This will allow you to account for any changes in the environment or the alignment of the sights that might cause you to shoot inaccurately.
