What’s your experience with scope tape?

[Beanflip]

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while.
I watched AirTac huntings recent video about it and made it happen. What Rolfe doesn’t refer to in the set up is slope. What is your experience with scope tape ranges?

1/4 inch masking tape should work

Ok I don’t by think I explained my question correctly.
Is the difference in slope ( that changes what you would dial) accounted for by the shooter’s experience?

Oooh great question let’s see if anyone chimes in

I watched their other scope tape tutorial. Apparently slope isn’t accounted for in Strelok.
( I’m using Chairgun)

Slope isn’t mentioned in the tutorial. The only thing I heard said in another video was to hold under when shooting 30° or above.

Here’s a video that sheds some light on what I’m talking about.

@Beanflip
For hunting with the various scopes I own, I have no need for scope tape unless I’m using a Sightron scope. I really don’t use that scope. Plus I don’t click, I use holds and I prefer FFP scopes. Maybe specify what type of hunting you’re doing. I like to spot-and-stalk and post up mostly. Pesting calls for different methods and measures. Either way I prefer FFP scopes and I don’t tend to shoot air rifles beyond 50 yards at animals.

I love them, have been using them on my 22lr for a while and they are great. Will be setting my Paradigm up with them as well. Makes dialing the scope super easy and very quick.

@Beanflip I don't dial, I hold. Unless I'm shooting virtually vertically, I haven't noticed much need to hold because I'm usually at or towards the base of a tree shooting up a squirrel high up towards the canopy. It also depends up the gun I'm shooting. I have improved my chances by practicing shooting pine cones at various angles and distances. After getting comfortable doing so, shooting squirrels is not so difficult.
