Looking for advice on zeroing my Zeus 336x50 in daylight conditions
As long as you don't take off the eye cup for shooting, you should have no problem seeing through the scope during the day. I often day hunted with my Zeus. If the sun is too bright an you do have issues, just drape a dark towel over you and your scope. Problem solved.
As noted, foil or handwarmers will often work fine. I have also used duct tape, but you can use metalized tape as well.
A buddy showed me on his paper targets where the inked areas heated up more than the regular paper did and he didn't need anything special to get zeroed. I don't know that I would count on this happening, but it an happen, LOL.
Zeroed my PTS233 on a bright sunny day using a small handwarmer. Even though it was very warm that day, the small handwarmer was perfectly visible.Looking for advice on zeroing my Zeus 336x50 in daylight conditions
I zero my Zeus during daylight hours all the time without a problem using handwarmers to 200 yds. Done it out at a public rage using aluminum foil with no problem there either. Only issue is when I zoom and the POI seems to change. In my hunting, if the native 3x isnt enough, I need to get closer.

About all I could see as far as hits was when the first round hit the hand warmer, some of the chemicals tumbled out showing up as a streak. I didn't take a spotting scope that day and just walked to the target after each adjustment to confirm POI. I still have not had a chance to take mine out hunting but a lot of videos that I see will show a fleeting impact spot on hogs or coyotes which would be a bloodspot. Of course, when the bullet makes a big hole on the animal the escaping blood shows up until it cools to the temperature of the ground or whatever else it settles on.I've seen a number of zeroing videos like yours. When I watch yours and others I cannot see the hits at all. There was one video I watched at one point that insinuated you can see the hits. I'm curious what I'm going to be able or unable to see with my trail when I zero in a few days. Can you see your hits through the thermal while you are sighting in or not? It's no big deal either way as I can use my spotting scope and trial and error. I was just curious? Thanks.
You should be, thermo was a real game changer for me, got mine in 2017Good info to know. Thanks. I’m pretty excited to get my new thefmal into action.
