Balistic Calculators

Thu Jan 28, 2016 7:08 pm

I just want to ask on the balistic calculators on the table of adjustments when it says from 0 to 10 clicks thats a click on the turret but when it says 1.5 is that is 1 full turn of the turret plus 5 clicks that is my thinking but i maybe wrong can anyone verify please thankyou. :!:

Different scopes have different increments per MOA, its probably that. I dont count clicks, so Im no expert!

I think you'll find that the algorithm for the program has worked out that at your given range the pellet will drop by x number of milradians at the range you have dictated and being a computer if this works out at half way between 1 and 2 clicks out it will (correctly) tell you that the adjustment is 1.5. At airgun ranges the half click isn't going to make a lot of difference (after all it only works out at 1/8" at 100yds) so as long as you adjust consistently it's not going to make a great deal of difference (you'll be working within the constraints of your scopes limitations) :)
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool
