[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5468862, member: 10373"] If you have a cheap scope and two different people shoot it and have different POI, that’s the result of parallax. It’s caused by the eye looking through the scope at different angles. You can check it by moving your head around while not touching the gun or scope. If the crosshairs move around on the target, you have parallax. You can adjust this out if you have a parallax or focus knob on your scope. Keeping adjusting until you can move your head without the crosshairs moving on target. If it still a little blurry try to also adjust the eyepiece focus. Go back and forth between the two until you’re satisfied with the focus and parallax. [/QUOTE]
