has anyone had difficulty in shooting consistent groups at 100 yards with an element helix scope 6x24x50 FFP. i can shoot one holes at 50 yards, but at 100 the groups open up. could it be optics or my old eyes. reason wanted to look more into it, i saw a youtuber said the same thing. thanks in advance.

Probably not the scope. Like peskadot671 said, either wind or other shooting techniques. Maybe try slugs, assuming you're shooting pellets. What caliber are you using?

Watch this video to possibly fix the issue by first perfecting the diopter adjustment and then adjusting parallax. At the 7m:57s Mark talks about the importance of diopter adjustment. As well as fixing a seemingly good parallax adjustment, perfecting the diopter adjustment will help your eyes feel better at the end of a long shooting session because they won't be constantly trying to focus on the cross hairs to make them crisper. If these two tests prove not to be the problem then try a different length of ammo, as it may be becoming unstable at that distance.

I find it's interesting, he's got a ton of compensation on his scope but has his bi-pod on his barrel.

This guy has a lot of other videos expanding all of the aspects of his rifle and gear set-ups in long range shooting. Alot of these relate directly back to bench rest and target shooting competition disciplines in the air rifle world. He has a video with content explaining bipod set-up and level recoil strait backwards from the muzzle, not allowing the muzzle to jump. He explains that a strait backwards recoil from the muzzle, through the bipod, and into the stock and shoulder is how to set it put properly.
