I am 5’7 and 190lbs. My chest measure 42. Will it fit me?
I will be back July 8 from our Hawaii trip. So I can make a trip to Camp Perry. What will be happening there? Are there any workshops and clinics?

Do you plan to sell one of Scatt USBs? My next purchase is that. I have spent too much so far. I have to wait or find a good price pre-loved.

Thanks.

Stop worrying about minutes of angle, zeroing dials, and other stuff you don't need to worry about.

Your sights are ten-click sights. One click will move the group about 2mm at 50 meters.

If your shots are grouping high, wind the top dial "in" like turning off a tap (turn it clockwise), if they're grouping low, wind it "out" (counterclockwise).

If shots are grouping to the left, wind the dial "out" (turn it counterclockwise, or the way I like to think of it is rolling the top of the dial towards you. Turn it the other way if shots are grouping to the right. This left/right assumes you are a right-handed shooter and hence in prone you are using your right hand to adjust the sight.

Forget about trying to "zero" the dial - you cannot read the numbers when you're in position, and the numbers are meaningless - what matters is where the group is, not what it says on the dial.

Jacket might fit. Pants might be too long. I am a size 38.

The CMP national matches are there and they will be doing a smallbore small arms firing school... check it out...

Modena wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 8:33 pm Get a target that only has bulls on one side of the paper (any target, so long as the paper is correct), turn it over and draw some black filled-in circles on there that ARE the correct size. Now you have the right sized targets. At 25 yards 44 millimeters would be a good size black dot to be practicing on.

Assuming your KK300 Anatomic does not have a barrel extension tube, your sight radius (distance from your aiming eye to the front aperture WHEN IN POSITION) in prone will be about 35" (+/- 1 or 2 inches wont make much difference at this point so don't stress over it), then a 3.6mm front aperture insert should be about the right size and that is most likely what the rifle came with.

Set your rear iris (if you have an adjustable one) to 1.1mm and leave it alone for now. Your aiming eye should be 1-2" from the rear iris aperture, so move the rear sight front/back to achieve this. Personally I have it so my eyebrow just touches the top of the iris, this gives a reference point for repeatability.

Watch this video to see what your sight picture should look like, and I suggest you watch all of Heinz's videos;

Colored filters, either on your rear iris, or as inserts in the front aperture may help some people, but don't worry about them for now, you have bigger problems to be working on, and right now they will not make much difference.

If your 25yd range is indoors, then yellow cuts some of the glare from fluorescent tube lights. So it may something to try in the future. Other colours tend to make your sight picture too dark under artificial light IMO.

Okay. I worry about it later.

I should have asked before this order but I can still return it.
Is this going to work for me as a spotter? I know this kind of optic stuff one needs to shell out at least $1000. But I just want something manageable now and buy a good one later.

If it is not going to work. I will return it and buy something better.

Tim, you are so kind and generous with your time. Truly appreciate your help. I will get there. I take my hobbies seriously. I will get there. I have been practicing dry fire standing position with my MantisX for more than an hour every day and love it. I go to my current range to shoot twice a week.

Focus on getting a SCATT so I can do better practice at home.

Will go to Camp Perry to get a jacket and hopefully find a coach.

Thanks you everyone who helped me!

FYI.... Champions Choice, Champion Shooters Supply, and Brenzovich are shooting apparel vendors and all will be present at vendors row at Camp Perry during Smallbore and some for the entire pistol-smallbore-high power dates. So you can go try on new and used clothing there.
