OK, I know there are some proven methods to test for this to know where the beam is with respect to the reticle. And I had seen mentioned to search youtube for "a lot of videos" on how to do it. I searched youtube. I found exactly one.
Any hints on what to search for?
Here is my current thinking on how to best do this - find the beam size (I've got a Bushnell Conx, I expect it is in the manual somewhere) and make a cardboard cutout that size for a 100 yard target (I realize the spec will be in MIL or MOA, the conversion to inches is easy). Put the "target" at exactly 100 yards and keep ranging until the beam goes through the hole. Should work, right?
I realize I might need to make the hole bigger. Cardboard it cheap, I can put a few out to start with and keep working from large hole to small hole. That might make life easier?
And obviously I need a very stable tripod to make this work.
Anything I'm missing? Is there a better way I should be doing this?
Thanks,
Steve
