[QUOTE="shootski, post: 2031563, member: 106014"] I'm here to solve the mystery of the oversized Parallax Wheel! Airgunners use it to range find mostly for Field Target. When you have targets that have Kill Zones that are under 1/2" at 40+ yards you need to know your range down to inches because the .177 at or under a typical rules driven maximum of 20FPE. Pellets start to drop like rocks at those ranges. On the big wheel you use a custom printed tape with your distances read at a fixed index mark, you turn the wheel to eliminate all Parallax and then read the tape for your range. You then have your holdover or under; or you have a table of elevation settings if you are a "Knob Twiddler" instead! Probably clear as mud! Hopefully not.... shootski [/QUOTE]
