another Leupold scope question

Post by lvt01 »

I understand this when adjusting a scope on a rifle or a shotgun, but not when I'm using a shotgun scope on a crossbow. So 1 click equals 1/4" MOA...so it takes 4 clicks to move your poi 1" at 100 yards. So how many clicks does it take to move it 1" at 20 yards? :?:

I would think 5 clicks would be 1/4 inch at 20 yards 5 x 20yards=100 yards just guessing though.
So to get an inch move ment at 20 yards it would be 20 clicks.

Well....that's what I was thinking, but that's an awful lot of clicking to move it 2-3 inches at 20...lol!

Yes lots of clicks, no matter once your Leupold set it is set! I'd rather have finer adjustments other than larger movements.

1 click = 1/4″ adjustment at a 100 yard distance. or
in other words:1 click = 1/20″ at a 20 yard distance.

Since 1 click corresponds to 1/20″ of adjustment,
20 clicks will be exactly 1 full inch.

Spin it till it sounds like a zipper and try another shot! :lol: It takes LOTS but all the Leupolds I have tried have had enough adjustment to zero easily.
