Shooting low scope fix

[Scythe13]

Time for a lovely quick fix post.

If you have a scope that is looking too high, and you're shots are going low, even if you have adjusted the scope's zero to the very maximum possible, and you're still shooting too high, panic not. There is a solution.

If you adjust the angle of the scope, you'll be able to readjust the line of the scope.

The trick to this, tin foil.

Get a few strips of tin foil and place them between the rear scope bracket, and the scope. So it becomes like a sandwich between scope and bracket. The idea is to offset the flat view from the scope, and realign it to a slight downward view.

What this new angle of view from the scope will do, is to recalibrate the natural angle the scope is looking at.

Granted you'll have to start zeroing your scope again. But if you constantly vary the amount of tin foil in the bottom of the rear bracket, you'll get to an amount that jig's the scope's line of sight, to just where you need it to be. Thus solving your problem of shooting too low all the time, and not being able to get your scope to shoot at that level.

Best of all, the same works in reverse. If you're shooting too high, and your scope just isn't able to adjust to that line of fire, and no matter what, your shots are all going high...reverse the process. Add the foil to the front bracket, between the bracket and scope, and you'll change the low angle of view that you currently have, to a higher angle of sight, closer to your 'high shots'. Remember play around with the amount of foil, until you can use the normal adjusting mechanisms on the scope to get a true zero.

You should be able to get a perfect zero without the foil. But if you can't, a little foil goes a long way.

I hope this helps.

Enjoy.
