Scope Quality

Not all scopes have the same resolutions.

1. Check the settings on your scope for errors.

2. Move the target closer to you.

3. Try a higher-resolution scope.

4. Try a larger target or paster.

Target Size

Size of target and quality of scope go hand in hand.

1. Reposition yourself and or the target.

2. Eliminate other factors listed below.

3. If #1 and #2 do not resolve the problem consider a larger target or higher resolution scope.

Distance

Each target has a recommended best visible distance.

1. Confirm your distance to target recommendations.

  • 25m – 2x2cm paster, Universal zeroing
  • 50m – 50m paster, Thermal zeroing
  • 100m+ – Thermal zeroing, Lg. Passive & Powered targets

Environment

Cloud cover, buildings, or trees could lessen the contrast.

1. Reposition yourself.
2. And or reposition the target.

Extreme Cold Temperature

Frigid temps could lessen the contrast.

1. Reposition yourself.
2. And or reposition the target.
3. Attach a portable chemical heater to the back of the target (hand or toe warmers).
4. If conditions persist, consider a powered thermal target to combat the cold.

2. Water is okay.
3. Wipe and rinse gently.

Outside/Inside Shooting

Most passive targets must be shot outside.
