Of late I've become frustrated with "MY" lack of understanding using strelock pro or airgun elite.
So to create the best dope for the best chance of accuracy I have created my cavedweller methodology which i do after having confirmed and set my ZERO.
I create and validate dope by using a 5”x7” 1/8” or larger graph card stock, i even have some 11"x14" 1/8" graph paper which works just as well.
I draw a horizontal line across it the top of the paper an inch down and add vertical tick marks at 1” apart.
On a zero wind day shooting from a bench I do the following:
Beginning at 10 yards, I place graph card level and from a benchrest on a zero wind day, I put my bullseye on first points of intersecting tick and line and shoot.
I then carefully access my poi and annotate holdover.
I then put that holdover point on the first poi hole and shoot - in a perfect world the pellet will be hole on hole.
I repeat this from 10 to 60 yards moving 1/2 yard at a time from 10-22 yards then in 1 yard increments thereafter.
Lots of movement and exercise but the DOPE is SOLID!
Whew!
Added benefit is I am also double checking my ranging for accuracy at the same time.
