Hyskore Rifle Rest in Use

Hyskore Rifle Rest in Use

I set my target up using my Leica Rangefinder and it’s about 111 yards to that target. I’ve got the table set up with the Hyskore www.hyskore.com DLX Sighting Rest https://hyskore.com/products/30088-dlx-precision-rest/ and the rifle on it. The crosshairs are right on the top of the orange circle on the target. This thing is real sensitive. So what I’m going to do is go back to the trigger and the little thing that pulls the trigger and fire a round. Then I’ll take a look back at the target to see where I hit. Go out there and measure it. And then make my adjustments and re-fire.

Hopefully there won’t be a lot of movement on this table from the recoil, but we’ll find out. Here it goes. I believe there is a white splat on that paper. I will go out there and take a look. If there is, I will make my adjustment. I didn’t make it on the paper so I have to see where the problem is. I’ve reset the scope to the very bottom of the black target and we’ll see what happens.

All right I got on paper that time. I was to the left 2” and high 9” so I’ve done a lot of recalibrating. I’ve worked on the scope and we’re going to fire another round. This last shot was low and to the left a bit. So we’ll do it again till we get it right. With a little bit of luck I’ll be dead center. You notice that table rocks quite a bit from the recoil. It’s not really sturdy enough. I moved the windage the wrong way so I re-adjusted it. Hopefully this one will be in the bull’s eye.  Here we go. All right, this is the final result. If you remember the first round wasn’t even on the paper. This little hole was the high one. And when I re-adjusted it came down here, which was about where we should have had it. I played with it some more and I ended up way over. So I’m going to adjust it a full click back left, which would bring the point of impact to the right, and then I’m going raise it probably 1 ½” – 2” so that it be good to about 175-185 yards, possibly 200 yards. This is absolutely great only 4-5 shots and I am sighted in like wild Bill Hickock even though I clearly am totally ignorant about how these things should be done.
