What distance have you it zeroed at. Seems you held high and left a few inches. Nice shot.

Thanks. Yeah its zeroed at 75yds. I've a ball of shots out of that rifle lookin through that scope so I'm well used to the holdovers for it now.

well spotted. yeah it gets in the way. thats why i used the old nikon for that shot because its not in the way at all and has a better viewfinder.
I didnt want to 'chance' a shot with the new camcorder so until I'm 100% confident with it ill only use it for shooting targets etc. I like to shoot magpies as much as the next lad but still there's no creature deserves to have its legs shot off to fly away and suffer!

The mount I used is designed for astral photography. it mounts any camera to any eyepiece. Got it on ebay for 30 squids i think. right handy piece of kit.
