Cara Seting Scopes Senapan - How To Setting Scopes

You've just got yourself a new rifle scope, fitted it and let me guess...for some reason your shots are landing nowhere near the crosshairs?
Sadly there's more to rifle scope sharp shooting than just plonking the scope on the rifle and forever after shooting like an SAS sniper! You have to "zero" it.
Think about it. It's like a bike wheel. If you tighten the bolts wrong, too much on one side for example, it spins wrong and rubs the brake pads. It's the same with a Rifle scope. If it's not set up correctly it will be offline and even at short air rifle, airsoft and paintball ranges this is going to throw your accuracy right off. At longer ranges you'll miss by a mile (well figuratively anyway!)

What Does "Zero a scope" mean?
Zeroing a sight or scope means getting the crosshair in position so that when you shoot. Ground zero if you like. The point of impact.There's a lot of discussion amongst shooters on the best way to zero a scope or sight. What I've written below is what I've been sending out to my ebay scope buyers for the last year or so and received a lot of good comments back about it so I know it's OK!

How to Zero a Rifle Scope
First of all you need to set a firm foundation by fitting the scope mounts well.

• Put the scope mounts on the rifle first with the top brackets removed.
• Tighten them into place using 1/2 turns at the time so that they sit solid and level as best as is possible, i.e., the downward pressure is as equal as possible. At this stage don't tighten them fully as you might want to slide them up and down a little.
• Now take scope and place it on top of the open rifle mounts. 
• Make sure the windage and elevation turrets are one up and one to the right (these are the "turrets" on the sight. You use them later to make micro adjustments and in the field adjustments for wind)
  Then put the top mount brackets on and tighten - Again use partial turns to tighten up.
  Don't tighten fully at this stage, you may yet need to adjust a little.

 Zero the scope 

Lie in your normal shooting position and check that you can see through the scope well...

• The distance between your eye and the rear scope lens is called Eye Relief.

• Unlike cartoons you do not use a scope by pressing your eye up against the scope lens!

• Once comfortable complete the screwing down of all mounts so that your set up is solid -

• take care at this stage to keep the final turns partial and one by one to ensure pressure is equal.

Now it's time to zero the scope for shooting:

• Load the rifle
• Adopt your standard prone/lie down shooting position.Prone is the best way as if you test shoot from standing or kneeling positions you waver more and it's harder to do a "true test".
• Put some sort of target in place at say 20 yards - or whatever you think your "standard" range will be.
• Using cross hair on target centre - Take 2-3 shots - Where do do they fall in relation to where you want them to? Right, left, up, down - dead on (lucky you!) 2-3 shots is best as it will average out shooter inaccuracy and give you a more "significant" feel for how far or close you are from true zero.

Now it's time to use the windage and elevation turrets to get it zeroed dead on. These are the 2 turrets on the top and right side of the scope. See my website for pictures.

• Models vary, you'll probably screw a cap off and expose either a coin twist or finger knurled type of dial.
• The top turret adjusts up and down. The right one left and right.
• If you have your scopes instructions they should have a table with figures to tell you what each click adjustment means in terms of cross hair movement at "x" distance, e.g., 1/8 inch at 100 metres.

Tips Pistol dan Senapan Angin Spring - Air Gun

Here are some tips on breaking-in and shooting a spring powered air rifle:
Spring piston airguns, including break barrel, side lever, and under lever, typically require 500-1,000 shots to break in properly. Groups may be erratic for the first 100+ shots.

• DO NOT bench rest on ANY solid objects! NO part of the gun should rest on a rigid surface or object.
• Utilize sand bags, pillows, or folded quilts as a shooting surface.
• A springer's barrel is NEVER to rest on any surface when shooting.
• Position the rifle so that it is resting and pointing at a specific target point without being held. You can then ease into the shooting position without changing sight picture. By taking out as much of the "Human Factor" of holding the rifle, your accuracy will most likely improve.
• SQUEEZE the trigger - pulling the trigger and or jerking the trigger will result in terrible accuracy.
• Follow Through is Very Important. Try not to blink when the rifle fires and continue to focus on the precise point of aim.
• Always hold the rifle "loosely" at the forearm and in the shoulder. Spring guns usually become inaccurate when held tightly.
• Changing your shooting position or grip can and will affect your point of impact.
• Scopes are to be mounted with 2.75" to 3" of eye relief.
• DO NOT pull the trigger when the barrel is broken over. The barrel will fly up causing a bent barrel and could result in serious injury to you or someone else. Also, a cracked and/or broken stock may occur.
• Each air rifle is an individual and has its own characteristics. To achieve the best performance, you should try an RWS Sampler pack of pellets to see which ammo your air gun shoots the most accurately.
• Use only high quality pellets in your air gun, such as RWS air rifle pellets. RWS Airgun Pellets are much cleaner and manufactured to more exacting tolerances than many other brands.
• Do not dry fire your spring air rifle as this can damage your rifle.

How to cock a break barrel:

Make sure the airgun is "ON SAFE". With one hand grasp the top of the rear stock firmly, avoid contact with the trigger, and brace the butt end of the stock against your thigh. Grasp the barrel near the muzzle end, just behind the front sight. Pull downward and to the rear until it comes to a solid stop. You will hear a click indicating that the spring piston has been locked into position (see illustration to right).
