Don't forget to tap your adjustment knobs!!!

Is it ever preferable to use a slap rather than a tap? How about a good smack? I assume a smash is going too far. During "F" class matches, I notice none of the guys tap, slap, or smack their scopes. If I adopt this technique, will it give me an edge? Regards, Bill.

Yes Bill...it certainly will. :)

Remember once you finish your rap-a-tap-tappin.....to also to "Jump down, turn around and pick a bale of cotton"!

I do it too!

All i know is that rifle and scope shot like a laser beam for the last month. I go to zero the scope for hunting, then it shoot eradically. I tap the caps and the hairs settle and its back to under 1/2" MOA.

I do this as well...typically, I use an empty cartridge casing to lightly tap the turret screw head after making an adjustment - regardless of what scope I am using. In my experience, it accomplishes the same thing as the next shot would have done...all it can possibly do is save a little frustration and ammunition. :)
 
Any scope that requires tapping to adjust should immediately be donated to Laidlaw's or BFI...This is turned out to be good reading, if not for the imbedded humour. :rockOn:

I sure hope you use your left hand Randy.

Just to be safe I am going to wash my hands next time we pow wow!

I can vouch for Dave not afraid to rap his scope, but he usually gets his Dad to do it for him when taking shots at sheep.:D Sorry Dave, can't resist. Hope the felt marker stays on for you!:popCorn:
 
Tap your knob(s), scratch your butt, rub your nards, pull your ear, blow the smoke out of the barrel, start a new post or make sure the headstamp on the cartridge is "up" so you can read it ... whatever floats your boat !

Every time I see a cheap scope in one o' them see-thru squinty mounts, I want to give it a tap too ... like knock it clean-off that crappy old
jam-o-matic with a humungous rock ! ;)
