Got my Simmons .44 Mag 6.5x20x44 today in mail.There was no instructions on how to fiddle with the target knobs.The only other scope i ever had was the 3x9x32 that came on my Savage "Package Deal" 30-06.Is there any links out there that explains on how to use them??? Thanks so much!!! BTW...I know its no Lu or Nighty,but its a heckava lot better than what i had,except i dont know how to use her...yet!!!

Your target knobs work just the same as any other knobs, with the exception that they might move p.o.a. 1/8" at 100 yds, as opposed to 1/4" at 100 yds. If it's 1/8, then you move the knob eight clicks to get one inch movement at 100 yds; four clicks for 1/4 " @ 100 yds. It's just that simple. Nothing complicated at all.
