Use a quality camera, and someone that knows how to use it. Use some good editing software as well. It will take several takes to get what you want, and probably some splicing of video as well. So learn the software and practice.

Excellent suggestions. I was thinking that a substance like milk (white) might show up better against a darker tree background.
Do you think a 2 litre bottle is too large of an object for 100 yards? I wouldn't want a target size that makes the viewer say "Who couldn't do that, look how large the 2litre bottles are."

I was trying to create a video with this kind of angle, with tha kind of target hit that the viewer can see.

I don't know how quick of a succession you are wanting to take the shots, but a 2 liter bottle at 100 yards is a huge target. Any magnification that your scope is capable of should be adequate for 100 yard shooting. Wind should have a minimal effect at such a short range.

I guess I don't have to eat my heart out... by pure chance I stumbled upon your post as I was looking for reviews on this scope. A little late I suppose since I already ordered it and guess what rifle it's for. An FN AR just like yours... what a small world. Great minds think alike. I have not settled on a bipod as yet though. Which one do you have on yours. I am thinking I want one that swivels and rotates but I am not sure. Nice looking rifle! Can you tell us how it groups yet and how you like that scope or did you buy it for the wall?

Thanks man, great minds do think alike!!!!!!
Boy, let me look that up. I posted a review here somewhere......
As for bipod, I would get one that swivels. I purchased a simple GG and G bi-pod that works fine.. but I can see if a person did any amount of shooting you would want a swivel too. Edited by Ick - April/25/2009 at 19:14 |

Here it was................
__________________________________
Well, finally went and shot 20 rounds through the FNAR. I was with my nephew so it was a quick trip just for fun.
I tried to adjust the scope while I was at it, too bad I shoot so poorly. I will take some time on a warmer day and carefully adjust it. Here were the results after 20 rounds @ 100 yards... adjusting the scope to compensate whilst shooting. You can see I was working my way to a bullseye, too bad I over-slid the bag and had to come back. Not sure if those two hits in the center were luck or divine intervention. Boy I stink. I can verify that the laser rangefinding scope is very accurate. I am interseted in getting it set... and then trying out the turrets and see how that technology works. Of course you have to know enough to pick the correct turret, so things are stacked against me. I am a n00b with almost no hope. The rifle kicks nothing like the .308 hunting rifle I shot.... which is a testament to design and the gas block system. Recovery was quick even for a guy like me used to low-recoil .223 in my M4 or 5.7 in my PS90. Boy, what a boom the thing has. ______________________________________________________
I did go AGAIN and here was my hit pattern at 150 yards after a lot of shots. I think I fired 10 at 50 yards, 10 at 100 yards, then used a fresh target and 20 rounds at 150 yards below....so the barrel was hot and may account for the spread. I was adjusting the scope at the same time.....plus I am a horrible shooter.
I am not technical enough to know exactly what turet to put on my scope, so I have it with one of the turrets on it at the 150 yard marker. I figure I can ask someone which turret to use and then swap it out later. As long as I know the scope is set for 150 yards.

Sorry ICK,
a hot barrel will open your group up an MOA or even two MOA but dude your all over the target. |

Dan, I was thinking that, but didn't want to infer that the boy can't hit the inside of a barn if he was standing inside it. He just needs a little trigger time is all.

His first target wasn't too bad and he was honing in on the bulls eye.... I will give him it was the turret experiment. Keep at it Ick nobody masters anything without practice, practice, practice. I like the setup. I am wondering what to mount on my front end.. maybe a laser for emergency close range home protection! Na... maybe just for the coolness, I have too many other choices to keep this one under the bed. I am excited about getting the scope and getting it out on the range for the first time. I saw a video clip of a guy shooting one and they look tame on recoil compared to my 30-06.. I was hoping so as I wouldn't really want to put 40-60 rounds through that rifle at one sitting.

hi just wondering is this like the burris eliminator scope for when you range a target the aimig dot shows up on the crosshair for bullet drop or do you have to dial in the scope after ranging the target also does anyone know any website to show this in action or any good reviews of it of how it actually works. Thank RegardsSteven.
