[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1362017, member: 54178"] Good article with good illustrations that clearly explain the text. The best scopes have a very forgiving range of distance, say from 200 yards to 6oo yards, where the targets appear to be in focus. This can lull the shooter into thinking there is no parallax but the "moving head" test usually shows parallax until the parallax/target focus knob is more finely tuned. I've found that in the rush of competition I've sometimes forgotten to adjust for parallax. So I train to locate my eye a distance from the ocular lens that gives me a slight "shadow ring" in the scope picture. When that ring is even all the way around I know my eye is centered and little or no parallax will exist. That's faster than adjusting for parallax by moving my head back and forth and adjusting until no parallax exists. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
