Can you spot shots at 200 yds?

Manufacturer Answer
A
Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on July 11, 2022

Good afternoon!

Impact visibility is heavily dependent on the type of target you are shooting, lighting conditions, as well as the bullet diameter itself. Looking at targets like white-painted steel, a bullet impact, even from something like a .22, will show up quite visibly through the Diamondback 15x56, as would something like a Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C target, offering a bold contrast between target background and impact site!
