2:29 is an error? After the second shot he does not first aim cross hairs at the centre of the bullseye but instead starts adjusting from a position below-left of centre. Odd, becasue the rest of the video is great.

Too simple maybe. There are two zeroes to consider - the Primary and Secondary. The first one is where the pellet is still climbing and the second after it has started to decline. For instance his 10yds would be his primary and his secondary might typically be 30 yes. To research these points you would need to set out targets at say 5 yard intervals and shoot without further adjustment to the scope. You will quickly find where the primary and secondary fall. If you need to shoot in between these points you will use the mil dot's to compensate whether up or down is required. Most people zero at the range they intend to shoot at most. You will also have vastly different trajectory curves between primary and secondary between .177 and .22 or other calibers. Zeroing is both simple and complex all at the same time.

Don't forget about scope latency. Once a change is made to the reticle it takes a few shots for the reticle cross hairs to settle in. Tapping the side if the gun several times can help set it quicker.

@Pauld58

Pretty unhelpful hints there my friend. You stated you could not keep the gun still or return to exactly the same place. Therefore his method is no good to you whatsoever. You need to use the old and traditional method of aiming at the centre and then making approximate adjustments up and down or sideways in small steps with your turrets until the POA (point of impact) gets pulled in closer and closer to the bullseye each time, and eventually you will succeed. If you zero at such a close range your pellet will still be rising and the same setting will give you a second zero further away probably somewhere near 30 yards. What goes up must come down. A better method for you would be to decide what range you are intending to try and shoot at most of the time and then learn to use your mill dots to compensate up and down accordingly. We tend to imaging that the projectile has a flat path, when in truth it has quite and arc in flight.

I agree with Paul Downes. It appears that those who replied don't understand what you mean by "break barrel". You cannot leave the gun in place or "without moving gun" to reload with a break barrel. I guess the only hope is that you're able to place the gun in as close to the exact same position it was in before having to reload.

Your scope sighting tutorial is the only one that makes sense and it works. I have a nitro pellet rifle and Center Point 3-9x32 scope. I used wood clamps, the big ones, and anchored the rifle to a 50 gal. filled flower pot. I anchored the gun firmly in place and then placed the target in the cross hairs, adjusting the target instead of the gun. Fired at the bulls eye. The gun recoiled slightly, but that’s ok. I just re-centered it on target and then adjusted the cross hairs as per your instruction. First shot after adjustment, dead on. Tried free hand and was off abt. 3/8 inch. Second shot, on target within a couple of millimeters. I would have spent the whole afternoon and my whole can of pellets sighting in any other way. For the beginner or advanced your video is absolutely the only way to go. Thank You !!!

That's the method I use..I have a lead sled which keeps the rifle in a sturdy stand still position. I shoot once, adjust the scope, and give it a few taps with a rubber mallet. That eases the tension on the springs holding the cross hairs. I shoot 3 more times. Adjusting the scope if needed, and give it a few gentle taps. After 5 shots, the scope is zeroed. And again, I give the scope a few light taps, and try again. After that, I'm shooting thru the same holes. Nice video.

You can use the mil-dots (or MOA dots, or whatever reticle your scope has) to make estimates for distance, called "ranging." Each dot and the spacing of the dots is a specific fraction of a mil, which you can use to measure the perceived size of a distant object in mils. If you know the size of that object you can then do an easy calculation (quick search online and you'll find plenty of tutorials) to give you distance, either in yards or meters, and adjust by holdover or using the turrets.

Yes, you can zero the scope at any distance you choose. "Zero" just means that your point of aim (POA) is the same as your point of impact (POI). Once you have that zero set, you can then adjust using holdover (or turret adjustments) for any other range you may encounter.
