How to set your scope?

Hi.

I’m really struggling with accuracy on all of my RIFs, the problem is me.

If I get the hop up set correctly, which I have to guess on by looking down the barrel and trying to get a small lift before the drop, I then wonder where I should dial my scope to?

Do I set it to the top of the lift, so that If I aim for a headshot I’ll most likely hit centre mass unless they are at the exact top of the final lift?

Left and right is simple, up and down - where do I am the scope?

And is hop inconsistency when the lift is different shot to shot? I have that on my Tac and my 308. But I’m not sure is ground effect is happening, or if that’s even a thing with BBs.

I want my Tac to be accurate at 70m and my DMR to 60m. This should be possible, and I think my issue is setting the hop and knowing where the crosshairs should be aligned.

Help.

Yeah just set the hop flat with an overhop at the end, then pick a target distance, hit it, and zero the optic to that target

You need to zero the scope (adjust elevation/windage, i.e. up/down & left/right) on a range, ideally at the distances you want, so that your crosshairs sit on the point of impact of the BB on the target at that range. But bear in mind environmental variables that can affect the BB on its way to the target - the ballistics are no where near as consistent as a real bullet.

I have a target at 70m, and I get the hop up looking flat with a little lift at the end. I then get the crosshairs as close to the top of the lift as I can, it’s never consistent, but then I fail to hit the target.

I’m playing tomorrow so I’ll try their range. My target is a 17cm wide square about 2ft off the ground, and so it doesn’t emulate a human standing.
