£1 Coin/Bead alignment

[525kev]

Ok seen this mentioned on another thread but didn't want to drag that one off course into stormy waters !

SO

My question is what am i doing wrong as i've tried it with both my Hatsan & 525 but i must be doing something totally wrong as it appears both Guns are in dire need of some adjustment !!

Could the problem be that i used a new £1 coin and the test is for an old one ???

Any bright ideas

You nee to turn it sideways through 90 degrees around its axis!

Aperture sight, indeed.

But with respect I think the problem here is the Op is using the head; surely it should be the tail. Naturally the opposite is true in the Southern Hemisphere.

Ah now i thought of that but i'd be staring down the wrong end surely ?

Might set myself up some Mirrors better safe than sorry

I must admit that when I first started shooting and read about the £1 on the rib I honestly thought that this was what they meant.

Will this alter the point of Ma'am?

I think you may find,  you lie the coin flat.

:santa:

 

[Wonko the Sane]

OK - you're all wrong.  the proper coin for this is the US$0.25 (Quarter) coin.  Sorta like using pliers when what you really need is an adjustable wrench, right? 

I think you may find,  you lie the coin flat.

:santa:

What are you thinking???  Flat??  Then that heads/tails thing gets into the situation and which way it should point - like top of the head toward the muzzle - - or breech, or sideways   I mean there is no end to it

Couple of thoughts:

How far down the rib should you place the £1 coin?

What happens if you don't have a handy £1 coin?  Can you then use another, say a 10p coin?

And will either above affect POI or POA?

If the coin falls off, this indicates you are not being smooth enough during your shot.

Surely you would have to use ten 10p coins instead of a pound ?
