did anyone have a problem with sighting in at different yardages..like dead on at 15 yds.then high at 25,sight that in and then high at 35 yards ect.

An AR-15 has an arc that with a 20" barrel causes the bullet to pass through the same "spot" at 50 meters (rising in the arc) and 300 meters (falling in the arc) so picture it like an arc on a football or baseball. Before 100-150 meters the bullet is still "rising" in the arc it levels out briefly then starts dropping. That is why when you zero it at 15 it is still shooting high.

You have to find that sweet spot.. I would need to know what type of gun you are using. Think of it like this.. The sight is aiming straight at the target but the barrel is 2-3" lower depending on the setup. So at 25 yards the barrel is aimed up at the same point as your sight is seeing but if you aim out to 35 yards the the sight remains on the same line of sight but the bullet will continue upward.

not sure about the red dot scope on the ibex , thinking it would only be accurate at the one distance you lined it up for , where the scope that comes on it has four different settings , I lined my first crosshair at 20 yds. then the 30, 40, and 50 yds. were as accurate as the 20 yds. if you were going to shoot one distance then the red dot may be alright. Hope you understand what I am saying

There is a sliding lever that moves up and down. To sight it in start with the lever in the most downward position. This is for your close range shots. As your yardage increases you will slide the lever upwards for longer distances. There is a piece of tape on the sliding mechanism to mark your distance. I have found that if you are dead on from 20 yard it is usually dead on at 10 yards as well.

Patrick I haven't tried it at 800 yards yet. I have tried it at 2-300 yards and it worked fine for me.

A friend of mine shoots at around 52# and the sight works well for him. It has a pretty wide range of motion. I use a fixed position for 27 yards and compensate by aiming higher or lower (even though it's easy to move, I don't want to mess with the pin during a hunting situation). I'm shooting a fast bow but even so, I'm not even close to either end when I move the sight pin up and down for longer or shorter distances. I think you'll be fine, but it's easy enough to return if you're not satisfied.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot >6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

IDK! Only shoot about 100 yards at the most at the range I go to. But at 100 yards you can see them. We just go and tape them over and continue shooting!

Yes, we have two ARs at our local club equipped with the sight and the SightMark magnifiers...one with the 3X and one with the 5X. These have proven accurate out to 100 yards.

Try sighting in at the 30 yard shot first using the second cross hair. Once you are hitting bullseye at 30 yds, then go back to 20 yd shot and see how arrows are placing?

Hi David, I have tried all kinds (7 different types) of pellets from pointed tip, round, flat, all types with no consistency. All these pellets ranged from 7.8 grains to 14 grains. I cannot find a pellet that shoots well past 15 yards. Anything past 15 yards is unpredictable with groups no better than 12 inches. I gave up trying. Ive been shooting guns for over 30 years and this was just frustrating to say the least. Ive even tried 3 different scopes on the gun and still no luck. So Im pretty sure it wasnt me. Id look into buying another gun. Maybe this gun I received was just defective or something. Good luck.

Yes this gets out there at 300 yards. I use it for 300 yards and it perform pretty damn good hell you cant beat the price either. Oh and i shoot from .223 up to 30-06 and all is visable at 300 yards. Hope this helps your out in your choice.

I wouldn't go no more than 25yards, anything more it will not be accurate. That's pretty much the limit for around 700fps. Even at 25 yards, it's pushing it to the limit a bit.

I had mine shooting 1 1/2 inch groups at 25 yards after less than 20 shots It should improve as I get closer to 100 rounds. Also, it shoots dime size groups at 33 feet. However, At 50 yards, the group opens up to 6 to 7 inches with 14.5 gr. pellets, and 8 inches with 13.8 gr. This puts the maximum accuracy range for small pests such as squirrels at 30 yards, in my opinion. In my last post, I said how bad the trigger was. I have had a after market trigger group installed, and it is now excellent. To bad the company couldn't have done that.

Yes! I was at the range yesterday and that's actually one of the best ways to zero in the scope. Hold the AR rifle steady on a sandbag or whatever , aim at the target say 100 yards using the peep sight ,you then set your cross hair on that target....that easy, works for me. Oh and the mildot ?

It's poss. mine shoots to the left and down a bit. have Green dot locked in at 300ft group of about 2inch. also would need to turn down feed action to slowfiring rate a bit or just go full auto for fun...lol

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

Pretty accurate. There are some that aren't shaped perfectly and you'll get a one off shot, but my friend and I were hitting a 2 inch target at 45 yards.
