Hi all, I'm new on here also new to air rifles, first off I apologise if this is posted on the wrong place still need to work it out. This is my issue, I bought the above add on as to deal with a few pesky rats in my garden and as having a young granddaughter don't want any issues , when shooting thru the scope alone I generally hit the target aimed at but when I put on the nv I don't even see where the pellet has hit, it's driving me mad, I have looked in the menu and have lined the cross hairs up with my scopes cross hairs but still miss can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, I really am new to this and only bought the rifle to rid the rats so please help if you can, thnx in advance
 
Welcome to the forum.
The Pard is basically just a camera looking down your scope so can't alter your point of impact at all. I would bet that what is causing your issue is parallax issues from the fact that you have altered your head position (cheek weld) on the stock of the rifle due to the pard being added.
 
Thank you for the reply, I am not going to pretend I know what you are talking about I do however have a carrato c3 front paralax scope which goes down to 3yds, I am shooting @ appx 5 to 7 yds 10 being max, so for daytime I'm OK with just my scope, but as said when the pard is on even in the daytime I can't hit a barn door, so could you tell me more about the paralax & what I should do as I don't want to injure the pest I am trying to rid of,

Thanks
 
Pointless just giving you the instructions...

Can you run through how you have set the Pard up, each step please?

I bought one because the previous owner was unable to set it up but I had no problems on Hawke Airmax Compact 3-12 and 4-16 scopes.
 
OK I'll try to explain, I bought a cerrato c3 scope to pair with the pard as instructed to do so, I fitted the scope took shots until I hit the target, put on the pard went to menu and paired the cross hairs with the cross hairs on my scope, I've twirled with the knobs on the pard & on the scope to get a clear image I'm not going to lie that's what I did thinking that all would now be OK, like I said I hit the target using just my scope in daylight but then miss with the pard even in daylight, when I said I am new to all of this it was=is the truth so joining here was my best option for me to do things correctly & not just try to fumble my way thru as my intentions are not to injure or maim my quarry hope that this explains my issue
 
Oh wow, I didn't realise just what I've let myself in for.all I did was to fix scope to the gun take some shots until I hit the mark.
On the pard I set the eye piece for my eyes, went to menu made it as clear as possible for my eyes then set the criss hairs to match my scopes, May be the pard is just not for me maybe a day/night scope would be better I don't know, too be honest I'm fed up with buying stuff that I'm told I need I have bought x2 night vision add ons changed my scope & also bought this pard, I'm just lost now

12mm, how & where do I check magnification ? Told you I'm new

Usually the magnification if your scope has a variable mag will be on the scope near where you put your eye. For the Pard to work with your scope you need to set your scope to its lowest magnification.
 
Thanks for all of the help I appreciate it, I think the best thing I can do is to start from the beginning and see where it takes me
 
Hi Reggaesoulover. From the beginning and assuming your scope is zeroed to your rifle at your chosen distance. Set your scope to the lowest magnification at the back of the scope nearest your eye, then set your adjustment at the front end of the scope ...your parralax adjustment...to about ten yards. Turn on your pard and adjust the focus nearest your eye on the pard untill the menu on the pard is as clear as you can get it then leave that adjustment on the pard alone. Fit the pard to your scope and line up the white cross in the pard menu with your scope cross hairs. Then, looking through the pard, adjust the barrel adjuster wheel at the bottom of the pard untill your scope cross hairs...not the target...the cross hairs...are as clear as you can get them then leave that adjustment alone. The pard is now set up for your eye and your scope. Now... Look at your target through the pard and scope and the only thing you adjust now to get the target in clear focus is the adjustment on the front of your scope...the parralax adjustment you set to ten yards at the beginning....Don't adjust anything else on the pard or scope. Hope this helps. Note...some scopes have the parralax adjustment on the side not the front of the scope and some scopes just don't work very well with pard add ons. Hope this helps.
Cheers
Chris.

I thought (and my experience is) because you are looking through the camera there is no parallax error due to head position. As long as you can see the cross hairs and the target on the camera screen you're golden.

@reggaesoulover your location is Brum, I'm just off J3/M50 if that's reasonable travel for you I'm happy to look at it for you. I use a Pard007 12mm meself.

Thank for the info, I'm going to try again today & hope I can get it sorted
 
I will, I need to get it right as I have a small granddaughter & would hate for her to pick up any disease from the rats, also I won't try to shoot them if I know I might just injure them it has to be clean else I won't shoot
