Looking for the guy who turned my elevation knob on my scope.

He is a sneaky cuss! I have been looking for him everywhere, but I only get a glimpse of him when looking in the mirror. :bash:

Usually you find that out when you miss a coyote  :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I was trying to replace the battery for my red dot, and got mixed up and turned one of the adjustment screws instead lol, feel like an idiot.

I've done it twice, one full revolution each time.  Fortunately, both were a miss on a doe that I was able to recover from.  I finally marked zero with a white line.

Sighted in son's rifle for him on hunt to Montana - first shot was 40 inches low at 100 yards  :yike:   Glad I checked it for him.

Or bobcat at 50 yards.  Look and see the ghost turned my dial to 450 yards

Been there, missed that.
A scope with zero-stop helps, but still isn't fool proof.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.
