I agree, he makes it easy to understand.

@traeucity6087 2 года назад

This was very helpful for me. Even while in the military, I always used iron sights on a long gun. Once I got out, my main focus was handguns. By the time I started getting interested in using optics, I felt a little embarrassed about my lack of knowledge. I also suck at math; so when folks start talking about mils and MOA, my eyes glazed over. Thank you, for dumbing it down for people like me.

@diyoregonnowtexas9202 2 года назад

I know what you mean. I was in the military and they taught none of this stuff. Ive decided its past due time to learn.

@taylorharrington7870 2 года назад

It would make sense mainly dm's, and b4 qualified soldiers would need this kind of info

@bulldrumm Год назад

I hunted for 6 years ( the lenght of my carier) with a fixed 4x 24. 50ies copy of a ww2 german scope, which was their copy of the soviet PU. Military build, rugged, shitty as shitty gets performance in anyounes book. Did the job without fail. So.

@jumperstartful 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, I'm another glazed over mathematician. damn, keep it simple . If you want my money KEEP IT SIMPLE!! The only thing that I learned that helped me all my life was the times tables up to 12x12. And I learned that in the 4th grade. The rest of the 10 years was a skid stain on my underwear!

@keithusace4352 8 месяцев назад

I also hunted as a kid with iron sights and qualified sharp shooter in the military during the Nam era, it's only been in the last 5yrs I ever used a scope and that's only because that's how I purchased the rifle and no iron sights was on it. But all in all I'm old school and still like iron

Fantastic explanations. Straight to the point, no nonsense

@skinnymitchairgunbrotherho7152 3 года назад

It was nice to have a refresher course. I wish I had the ability to explain things the way you do.

@43beasthogan1 2 года назад

I HAVE WATCHED SEVERAL OF YOUR VIDEOS AND THEY ARE ALL EXPLAINED IN A EASY TO UNDERSTAND WAY

@michaelb.42112 3 года назад

This is a timely video, Joe. I own a pile of scopes and most have become paperweights. Looking forward to learning the meat and potatoes of scopes so I can save money and just buy the correct one the first time. - Mike in CA.

@Diamondjack931 2 года назад

I have to say Joe that you are the man. As an Englishman in the UK I found your explanation of scopes perfect. Also I think your accent and delivery a charm. Keep it up man.

@fakenok5878 2 года назад

Came by this channel looking to learn about rifle scopes because my first experience with a scope I was with a buddy and his dad but didn't get any points across, made it seem easier than it was. so looking down a scope I was confident it was all lined up but when I pulled the trigger there was nothing on the other side of my scope. It was absolutely terrifying for me to lose a round I fired in all honestly. regardless of being on a private range I never picked a rifle scope back up in the event I lose the round again.... It sounds silly but until i saw this video I now know it was the parallax that was fucking with me. I greatly appreciate this video. Honestly... and your accent hits real close to home, love it!

@christopherchapman8893 Год назад

I hate how (ahem) streaming media blocks or removes educational uploads such as this one because they simply cannot tell the difference between a sport and a crime. You can see ALL KINDS of worthless and offensive BS on here and thats all gravy, but God-forbid someone shows how to work a tool. Im glad you reposted this, I hope someday our country wakes up and cheers from Florida! Subscribed. F**K the algorithm!!

@Douginont 3 года назад

Make sure when you marry that scope to the rifle, like any marriage, it will last with expensive rings. Scope tubes are fragile. Do Not over torque.

Just subscribed and mashed the notification bell. Great video. Reading the comments, I think it is 'a thing' for us vets to be embarressed of our lack of knowledge on this subject. I have known people that assumed we are the SMEs all weapon systems, heck even I have. All of this content helped so much, thank you.

@robertcong-leton3275 2 года назад

Great to hear someone speak naturally from the heart and not be concerned with artificial political correctness. An excellent primer on scopes sans the typical garbage all too often seen in present times: thanks for the work and video!

Hey Joe, thanks. You provide a comprehensive verbal and visual of parallax, but would you please peel this onion once more and explain the "plane". We know it's not an aircraft or huge field in Kansas, but to know what it is and the difference visually and verbally between a 1st and 2nd focal plane would help. Thanks.

Hi Joe liked your videos. I’m a new member here my name is John pleasure. I’m reaching out because I just purchased a Leshy 2 and I am lost in the scope world!! My use is for close range pest control 10-100’ most shots will be roughly 20 yards so a scope I can get good clarity with in close range and something that can shoot into the late evening let’s call it sunset. Appreciate the channel🙏👍 As far as $$ 600.00 rather spend less going on your call!!

@gregsavige3587 6 месяцев назад
