Cable tie sights?

[jager]

Anyone tried cable or zip tie sights for your angled spotting scopes?
I tried it this evening and it is fabulous!
Much, much easier getting on target...actually it's a complete non issue.

Really? No one?

what are you talking about?

[sebek556]

think he is talking about making crosshairs with zipties on your spotting scope

do you have any pictures of this it sounds interesting?

With an angled spotting scope it much more difficult to acquire your target, as opposed to a straight tube...

Let me see if I can steal a couple of screen shots to show you what I'm talking about.

  cool idea, i like it

The pics show using one tie. I used 1 one black one around the tube and a bright pink one around that for the sight.
It works so well. Couldn't be any more simple.

Be sure and use the lowest power when sighting.
You don't really need a paper clip or tape either...you can "eyeball" it.

To use: You put your sight on your target and look through the scope , and you are on!

That makes total sense now.

They are simple, cheap and they work.  Can't ask for more.
