Scope shim question

[jh45gun1]

My scope is the older Excalibur with the chevrons and it is not the one with the ring for adjusting. Anyway shooting at about 23 yards and it is two inches low with the scope maxed up elevation wise. Elevation is fine. So I know you have to shim the back ring how much shim material will do it?

I used 5 pieces of coke can cut to fit ,kinda same situtation ,but the opposite of what you have ,i had to shim the front ,

Yea I saw your post that you were shooting high. I will try 4 shims in the back that should give me some lee way. I bought some steel shim stock at the gun shop. Cost me a grand total of 50 cents.

How did it turn out! How thick was the shim stock?

Two were about pop can thickness two a little thinner. Was raining yesterday so I did not go out. Rain tonight too but I will go out tomorrow and give it a try and post my results.

OK went and shot it today to check it out. I had backed the elevation down to about the middle if its range. Took a shot I was about 4 inches low adjusted and at 22 yards using the crosshair I was one inch high right at the top of the 2 inch bullseye. At 30 yards using the first chevron marker on the scope inch an a half high this was using my factory Parker arrows with 100 grain inserts. I sure do like them capture knocks on them arrows. At 40 yards using a 125 grain broadhead I was 2 inches high. I will leave it as is I would rather be an inch or so high then shooting low.
