I asked the same thing when I first started searching to upgrade from iron sight to a great Hawke weapon scope. This guide should give you a number of insight into having the awesome focus out of your Hawke scope, or any another adjustable parallax scope for that issue.

Have you ever looked out of a higher power Hawke scope and seen that if you move your eye off center to the edge of the exit pupil, the crosshair seems to move around the aim? Well, that shift happens when the parallax setting is not properly adjusted for that distance. certain have mistaken the parallax adjustment as a focus or even a range finder, but it is neither of these. The parallax regulation, when set properly will insure that cross hair is positioned correctly on the object; as though your crosshairs are a included in the aim, unmoving, as if they were painted on, just for you. Of course if your Hawke scope is not a "prey" or a "varmint hunting" Hawke riflescope, you most likely don't need to be concerned with changing the parallax setting. In almost all hunting Hawke scopes the parallax is negligible, in reason I have a great friend that hunts regularly and he didn't even understand what I was conversation over when I asked him. I don't shoot, but I love to spend a Saturday at prey training. So to me, any little increase in accuracy is defiantly welcome.

Many of the higher power Hawke scopes, with a power of 12 or more hawke, will have an realignment ring at the end of the Objective bell (the end closest to the prey). usually the parallax alignment ring has the suggested settings printed on them, so you can just dial in the range you're engaging from. The trouble is these suggested settings are rarely as precise as they may be. So why should you go through the trouble of having yours "just right"? Why not simply use the suggested setting? Even if you're a super shot, you might simply shrink the size of your groups by as much as 30%, simply by taking the time to properly set the parallax adjustment on your Hawke scope. numerous shooters don't even recognize that even with a some adjustments they might noticably change their shooting capabilities. Let's face it, the documentation that came with your Hawke scope isn't a real blessing when it is provided to learning how to use it, they just assume you already recognise.

Now that you have an knowledge of what parallax is, it's time to fine tune your Hawke scope for greater precision. I'm going to assume you have already zeroed in your Hawke scope and that it's properly sighted in. You will require to set up your weapon so it is securely positioned on a bench. A shooting rest with a vise would be highest. Dial in the suggested setting on the parallax regulation ring for the range that you're shooting from. Now, look out of the Hawke scope and shift your eye rear and forth, left and right so you can see if the crosshairs feel like they are moving across the aim. Experiment with the adjustment ring all the way you have eliminated the illusion that your crosshairs are mobile. When you think you've got it correct, take a little white-out liquid paper and make a mark on the parallax adjustment ring so you'll understand where to adjust it later. a number of people paint their mark or score it into the metal, but to start with I prefer something that's not so permanent all the way I'm absolutely certain about the position. following, go ahead and take three to six shots and see how your grouping has improved. Nice, huh! Don't stop there, move your object 50 yards back and repeat the process. You might as well find the right settings for all the ranges that you typically hunt from in 50 yard increments.
