Side focus wheel

[Tinbuster]

Hello to my fellow air gunners,

I was looking for suggestions on how to mark my side wheel AO with more yardage marks.

Thanks,

Tinbuster

I use white electricians tape and a .30 permanent ink pen/marker. I have a pointer attatched to the scope that lines up with the markings. I use a line across the side wheel and write the yardage under it.

Very cool. When you say a pointer on your scope what did you use? 


Thanks a bunch

I use 3M filament tape, it has a very good adhesive and holds up better in our extreme heat here. Fine tip Sharpie pens for marking as others have already mentioned. Also it does not stretch, so it eases making a duplicate if you wish. https://www.amazon.com/3M-897-Filament-Tensile-Strength/dp/B0065HKVV0/ref=zg_bs_256162011_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=P83MFG2HXEBW8QDK9PG0&th=1

Automotive pin striping tape - White - 1/4" or 5/16" - available at OReilly's Auto Parts on the cheap. Works for me.

Thank you to all for the advice. I look forward to setting up my first field target rifle. Stay safe and shoot straight

Saw this and it looks like a good mod to a wheel. Made out of brass or aluminum pop riveted to your wheel. Then you have to fashion a pointer out of something like in the picture.
