SHEPARD SCOPES

THERE IS FINALLY A RANGE FINDING SCOPE THAT IS NOT OUT OF REACH!!!!

WHAT YOU SEE IS THE EASIEST AND MOST RELIABLE RANGE FINDING AND BULLET DROP COMPENSATING SCOPE IN THE WORLD! IT'S ACCURACY HAS MADE A NAME FOR ITSELF IN BOTH MILITARY AND TARGET SHOOTING CIRCLES AND IT IS SO SIMPLE A 9 YEAR OLD CAN USE IT.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

THE SMALL CIRCLE IS YOUR 100 YARD ZERO. THE SHORT LINE UNDERNEATH IS YOUR MIDRANGE TRAJECTORY FOR SHOTS CLOSER THAN 300 YARDS. IF THE DEER IS BIGGER THAN THE 300 YARD CIRCLE PUT THIS LINE ON HIM AND SHOOT. THE FIRST CIRCLE WILL FIT THE DEER FROM SHOULDER TO BRISKET (18") IF HE IS AT 300 YARDS. THE 400 YARD CIRCLE WILL FIT HIM AT 400, AND SO ON OUT TO 1,000 YARDS. EACH CIRCLE IS ZEROED FOR THE CORRECT DROP AT ITS RANGE. YOU SIMPLY PUT THE CIRCLE ON THE DEER THAT FITS HIM AND SHOOT. IF THE DEER IS TOO BIG FOR ONE CIRCLE AND TOO SMALL FOR THE NEXT JUST HOLD BETWEEN THE CIRCLES AND FIRE.

BELOW IS A LISTING OF BALLISTIC INFORMATION FOR SPECIFIC CALIBERS AND LOADS INCLUDING THE MUZZLE VELOCITIES AND BALLISTIC COEFFICIENTS OF EACH LOAD. THIS FIRST LIST IS SPECIFIC TO THE WEATHERBY MAGS, S.T.W.'s, ETC.

IF YOU ARE HAND LOADING, YOUR MUZZLE VELOCITY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHRONOGRAPH YOUR LOADS AND USE THOSE NUMBERS WHEN CALCULATING A TRAJECTORY. EVERY GUN IS DIFFERENT AND A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE CAN RESULT IN A VARIATION OF YOUR MUZZLE VELOCITY TO THAT OF YOUR MANUAL ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 70 F.P.S. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHRONOGRAPH WE RECOMMEND YOU TAKE YOUR RIFLE SOMEWHERE AND HAVE IT CHRONOGRAPHED.

THE LIST ABOVE WILL KEEP YOU WITHIN ONE M.O.A. OUT TO AT LEAST 500 METERS. IT WILL ALSO WORK ON HOT 25-06's, HOT 6MM's, AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU CAN COOK UP. PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK YOU HAND LOADING FIGURES TO OUR INFORMATION AND MATCH THE SCOPE TO YOUR LOAD.

THIS NEXT LIST GOES BY CALIBER FIRST AND THEN SPECIFIES WHICH MODEL SCOPE WILL BEST FIT THE LOAD. THE SECOND TO THE LAST COLUMN ON THE RIGHT WILL TELL YOU HOW FAR OUT THE CIRCLES ARE ACCURATE WITHIN ONE MINUTE OF ANGLE. THE LAST COLUMN ON THE RIGHT WILL GIVE SPECIFIC BULLET DROP INFORMATION ON CERTAIN LOADS. AN ASTERISK "*" NEXT TO THIS INFORMATION SPECIFIES A NEED TO ADJUST THE BULLET'S POINT OF IMPACT EITHER ABOVE OR BELOW THE CIRCLE AT 100 YARDS.
