Lock-in Sights for Zero Range


Click the Lock-in Sights for Zero Range switch when you want to analyze where the bullet will impact (graphically of course) at other ranges according to the current sight setting displayed at the bottom of the target.

Why Use this?

For example, if you are sighting in your rifle at 50 yards and you decide on a zero range of 180 yards, where will the bullet strike at 120 or 220 yards?

Click the Lock-in Sights for Zero Range switch to adjust the sights to zero at 180 yards. You then change the target range to the distance you want to check where the bullet will impact (e.g 120 or 220), click the Shoot! button and watch the target to see where the bullet impacted (you will notice a box with the bullet path value next to the shot, it indicates whether it is above or below the line of sight and by what amount).

Is it off target or is it impacting lower than expected? Should I increase velocity slightly or should I try a different bullet to get the result I'm after?

It is up to you to experiment and find out what is best for your needs - that's the fun part. If anything, Shoot! will give you a better feel about the performance of your loads because you see the result, just like shooting at the range.

You can also include a Firing Angle to explore any significant difference in bullet impact. Select different atmospheric conditions and once again, watch what happens to bullet performance.

When you have finished using this mode, simply click the Lock-in Sights for Zero Range switch to exit this special mode.
