Compute Sight Pictures!

How often have you stared at a ballistic table and wondered what the image in the scope should be to hit the target at distance? Here’s a utility that will help you when your rifle is zeroed at 200 yards and you have the drop at 500 yards: Build Sight Pictures!

If the zero is different than 200 yards or you have precisedrop and drift data for a particular range, try using the QuickPix sight picture calculator. Go to QuickPix

“Compute Sight Pictures!” is a demonstration tool based on a handful of pre-computed trajectories:.

Select Bullet & Velocity:

Enter desired Zero Height

inches

Enter Sight Height:

Sight Pictures — Choose the ranges you would like to see (Select two to keep refresh time short, more gives longer wait times and risks exceeding server time limits.) :

50 yards

100 yards

150 yards

200 yards

250 yards

300 yards

350 yards

400 yards

450 yards

500 yards

A SUGGESTION — Try using the distance you will place your sight-in target and the longest range you could reasonably expect to shoot while hunting or practicing. The default range selections are examples. Adjust the zero height so you are comfortable with the reticle references at the longer range. Follow-up with a review of the intermediate ranges and actual shooting in the field!)

Clicking the “Submit” button will produce sight picture images for selected scope & target.
