Wow Mark that is the single best breakdown of parallax I've witnessed. I'm sharing the hell out of this.!!!!

Hey Mark this video was an immense help and value to me! This was one of the most complete explanations I've ever heard on the subject. When I finished watching this video I had to run out with my rifle scope and I had to try your tips and suggestion in my backyard. Those tips will forever be ingrained in my mind and will be part of my checklist before squeezing off each round. Thank you very much!!!!

One of the best explanations of parallax I have seen. Thanks Mark!

Thanks! That explains a phenomenon I've struggled with from the beginning and now I see it. Great lesson! Keep them coming please!

Thanks Mark, that was the most practical explanation of parallax that I have ever heard. I had a technical understanding of it before but now I really know how to apply this knowledge to my shooting! Great job as always.

Great video, Mark. Your production values are improving as fast as your instructions are helping our shooting. This one was especially useful. Thanks.

The light is on now ! I’m Rob from Indiana and you told me to watch this video to solve my question about being in center of scope retical and target ! Thank you , you explained it superbly . I’m thinking a 3-4 day min. seminar would be about as cool of a vacation I can think of !

This is the single best explanation on parallax for long range precision that I’ve seen. Thanks, sir!

Best explanation of practical parallax adjustment I've ever heard .

Thanks for the video! I hadn’t realized how important it is to get things perfect! Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise... your videos are not so detailed that I can't understand. This is the kind of explanation I need... lamens terms. Awesome video 👍... thanks again and cheers to Y'all! 👏💯👍🏻✌️🤙🤟🤔😀🤜🤛

Thanks for this. I’ve always wanted a concise explanation and this makes it crystal clear. I very much enjoy your channel.

Recently found your channel and I can't express how much I'm learning. This is something that I've never heard explained in such detail. This may explain my horizontal spread in my groups. Thanks from the USA

Excellent... i will start checking & fine tuning in the morning. thanks

I have a 308 and you just helped me more than I could working years with that rifle..... THANKS SO MUCH

thanks to this video i just learned what i was doing wrong when setting up my scope for my eye. This time i set the rifle in a vice with the cross hair on a tree exactly 200 yards away. Focused my parallax until there was no shift when moving my eye, THEN focused the eye piece to be 100% clear for me. HUGE improvement as i have never been able to 100% have the target and crosshair PERFECTLY in focus. I have perfect vision and just always thought this was normal. For one of the other to be somewhat out of focus. Mad my cheap lil swfa 10x 1000x better than i thought it was. Bet that is one extra step that will improve my hit count while learning moa and scope dialing.

I have been shooting for 15 years but just recently learnt about parallax. Thank you! .

I've been working at a precision rifle manufacturer as a machinist for the last few years, and trying to learn everything I can to enable me to make better parts. I just wanted to say thank you for your explanation on parallax, I have never heard it explained so well. thank you!

Nice work Mark. I reference and share your channel with others often. Just ordered my v4 adjustable Rear bag 👍

Thank you for explaining parallax so that even I comprehend it. Cheers!

Best way I've ever heard paralax explained and provided a clear solution.

Just been looking for a really good explanationa dn you guys nailed it. Thansk Mark. The best bit was pointing out the need to be "disconnected" from the rifle - common sens ewhen you think about it but I hadn't been and in the UK only getting to shoot high calibre once a month, you need to get everything in plave before you hit the range ! Keep the videos coming guys, I thought you'd stopped as I'd seen pretty much everything else.

Using the scope shadow to check center is a fantastic tip! I have in the past had cheap scopes that didnt have parallax adjustment, wish I knew about that tip back then!

Good info, and excellent explanation. Back when I was a Knight’s Armament dealer, I got to know their primary shooter, who did the qualification testing for most of their MK 11 Mod 0 rifles. He once told me that when doing demo shoots for military or LE customers, he could always determine who was a real shooter by whether or not they did a parallax check before shooting.

Excellent Video. One of the best I have seen recently.

Great explanations (parallax error, target focus & reticle focus with the eye piece) . Thanks for sharing. I bought 2 budget priced optics from a particular company ($250 & $600) and I couldn't figure out why the $250 optic looked so much better to me when a friend who is much more familiar with optics clearly saw the $600 scope as the better. The $250 scope had a diopter range of [-3 to +3] & the $600 scope's diopter range was only [-2 to +2]. The optimal setting for my vision is close to (-3) which is having the Eye Piece all the way in or flush with the scope body (factory default). The optimal setting for his vision is nearly 1/2 way or approximately zero. What a costly way to learn to check for diopter range when shopping for a scope. Now I know.

Yeah thanks guys so very informative all these things are awesome to learn as I have just got myself a new Nikko Stirling 10-50X60 so love learning how to get the most out of it

Thank you very much. This is the best Parallax video I have seen yet.

Super appreciate all the tutorials guys!!!

Brilliant video. Fascinating topic. Thank you.

Great explanation, got the rifle out and tried it, worked a treat. I now understand. 👍👍

I appreciate this video so much this single detail that I haven't heard until I watched this video it shrunk my groups in half and made my shots consistent with the wind thanks so much for this video it has changed my shooting entirely

Wow! You just helped clear up so much. Thanks man, greatly appreciated!!

Another informative tutorial. Thanks.

Thank you for this video. I will double check my parallax next time at the range.

By far the greatest video ever on this topic I love the long detailed video more then anything

Best explanation I’ve heard. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Excellent tutorial. Thanks so much!

Wow, this was an excellent video on the subject.....big thumbs up!

I not the only one who thinks this is one of the best videos on explaining parallax. Awesome, video

Great video Mark thanks Steve

Awesome guys!

Excellent i have found my new favorite channel! I have been watching the awesome shooting segments for some time now, but it just got better

wow that's crazy to think how many people have spent thousands on load development when it was just the parallax off center. I finally saved up for a nice long range scope and it wasn't shooting as good as I expected at 100m. I never liked that you have to adjust the parallax and I never knew how to adjust it. Now I do. thank you Mark

Incredible video! Thank you!

Thanks Mark, Really good explanation. You may or may not be interested but here goes. In my early days of shooting when all I had was my .22 magnum with a Niko sterling 4x32 scope I would machine a piece of perspex to fit perfectly in the scope eye piece with a tiny hole or cross hare in the centre of it. I would line that up with my reticle to eliminate parallax error.

Really perfect channel for information, knowledge, and experience .....detailed explanation of most issues related to shooting....keep it up and good luck 👌

Thank you for sharing More great knowledge!

Awsom I will be putting some of these tricks to work that's for sure thank you very informational video great job

Brilliant explanation . Having trouble with my scope at the minute this helps a lot.

Dziękuję za nauki!

Super informative ..great explanation 👍🏽👍🏽

Nice work. Well earned sub and now I have some new content to spend time watching. Thank you. Well delivered and easy to understand.

I got to say that is a good explanation of Parallax. You talked about focus and eye relief. Back in the early 80's I hunted varmints a lot at night. Work all day and well need that extra money. Long story short I learned to shoot with both eyes open. That of course changes the what I call get a full scope.( no shadows ) Well, I made different adjustment all over. Changed the eye relief just a little actually, then the focus. When I make any changes in these areas I start out on a clean wall with just a color push pin and I get in the scope and out. I do this as I throw down to shoot. I don't study it to much. I see, I get out and wait. After a few of those I make some adjustment and recheck. I always want to be able to shoulder and throw down and see the clearest and fullest scope image with both eyes open as possible. Then I check in the dark with a light from off to the side that is spotting the wall of a barn or even a post in front of a barn or some kind of object where you can tell if your focus is still like you want and the Fullness is still as you had it. Normally its the same. I also check at different power levels and double check. Well the big pay off. Lots more exciting, and the other eye is being trained to see another target. Takes a bit to learn this but it is a RUSH> man its cool when you have taken time to get several packs of coyotes in a big open field and you never turn a light on, then boom there it is, gun up, the roll makes the mercury switch turn the light on and those shots or just wow. Not to brag but 5 for 5 almost continuous. 100 to 300 yard every time. Money in the bank. It was after a few weeks I got the hang of it, I found a buddy that like to shoot. So we would both go out and of course he started my new style. The best part was he is a lefty and me a righty, so the team effort he working left to right and me right to left would get us 8 kills out of 10 shots on out average after he got the hang of it. With out going in to more of the hunting details and such, My point is Take your time setting up. Your focus and style is very important. That rush in my day for the money was actually the most fun I ever had. We was at it almost every night and made good money and saved a lot of baby calves and sheep from these Coyotes mostly. Hey, these coyotes or smart but they or dumb and curious to. By the way, I had a Ruger M77 22-250 with a Weaver 3x9 Low light with fine duplex. Now key in the imagination when you make those running longer shots, like 585 away from you. It was fun. Oh, the scope light was popular in the late 70 and 80's. It was light weight, face about like a standard old DD battery flash light and worked on 9 volt with a mercury switch. I forget the name but I can not find that light today. I personally do not like the pressure switch or the heavier lights. I don't do color lights either. If anyone runs across the type I am talking about, could you send me a link. Thanks, and thanks Mark for your great explanations and videos you make.

Terrific info. Thank you!👍🏻

Great video and advice as always, I will view this vid several times thanks MarkandSam Regards

Fantastic video - THANKS!!! 👍👍👍

Thank you Mark and Sam for that excellent explanation! I will do a better job of checking that from now on.

Your my Guru Mark. I'm currently stretching my 22 lr setup out to extreme range and running it the ammo wall. I've concluded I must be a satist.Frustrating fun.

Your an amazing teacher, relaxing voice, very calm and humble but yet very knowledgeable about his craft. My only other long range shooting instructor is TiborasaurusRex.

Great explanation, thank you.

As usual I learn something here. Best tip I ever got for shooting consistent groups.

very well explained...thanks!

I have some work to do now. Thanks for the reminders . Great lesson to apply

Very good explanation of parallax great video.

Awesome video!!! Thank you so much!!!

Very good job explaining it for newbies

Great information, thank you.

I learned the shadow trick from an old sniper manual. That stuff works! The best shooting I've ever done was while using the techniques I learned from that manual.

Super Helpful Vid....

Thank You for a very informative video. Having a good understanding now of the importance of focusing the rear lens, I wonder what the effect of corrective lenses and especially multifocal, has on parallax.

Thanks , I learned from this👍

The Scope shadow Trick was something I discovered myself when dealing with cheaper scopes. Even I shoot with top of the line scopes nowadays, I still check the shadows before I shoot 😀

Great information guys

I’m second to watch. Great explanation! cheers ,guys

You are a great teacher, and your vedios are fantastick!!

That’s awesome info. How can someone not like it. Thanks

Best parallex video I have seen. So when you set the initial focus while lookin at the sky or a wall does it matter what your parallex is adjusted to.

Great explanation

i think you are absolutely right lots of shooters spend huge money in load development without checking their parallax. I was no exception 😂

Another fantastic video! Thank you for y’all passion and dedication to our shooting sport! I do have a question, in the video you talk about the image focus knob. And I saw that the one you demonstrated was on the side of the scope. Would the focus be the same as an adjustable front objective?

Another great tutorial for the beginner shooter! This has been very helpful. I am struggling with my eye relief, as in not getting a full image. Do you have a video of setting the proper eye relief? Thanks so much .

great video

THANK YOU i was going nuts trying to figure this out

Looks like you hit the Bulls-eye on this one. Great video!!

I'm pretty sure I'm the guy that's spent $100s on load development and unknowingly parallax has most likely had an impact... in addition to other variables - I'm still learning! Great information as always. I greatly appreciate what you both do.

Good info

Mastering your basics is the most important thing in shooting. Parallax is one of them...

Hi, I’ve been doing this for over 10 years, catching such a ring.

Thankyou for solving my challenge

Hi Mark. This is a great explanation. Can you perhaps tell us if there is a difference in paralax perception in first and second plane reticle scopes.

Luv that Blue’s tune.

Nicely explained, makes me want to go check my rifles

Thank you for the great videos. I see youhave a Night Force optic mounted. I have the Valdada Recon G2 scope and I have seen your videos in the past with you using one also. My question is, are you more partial to the N-F or is it another reason that you choose to use the N-F over the G2 for this video? Thanks.

I’m first to watch. Great explanation!

Great video as usual. Just a question that could have been covered in vid. is that when you adjust your diaptor do you have your parallex on infinity or zero. I suppose the parallex adjustment is there for a reason. Just did not fully understand before this.

Lol ..... good stuff ..... even threw in some old school

Proof of an expert ELR shooter @10:59 Calls 1500 yds "Normal" range....LOL ! Great advice as usual. Edit: I'm just a deer hunter, but I discovered a while back the "circle". I call it the peep method, and it works pretty well for me. You have make a quick shot sometimes while hunting and in that scenario it works great.

good info how to use the scope the right way

Great information. Didn't see this question posed below: Couldn't you check for parallax with the scope off the gun? If you shouldn't touch the gun when checking, it seems like you could do the same even before mounting the scope. Am I wrong there?
