I have zero experience with precision or high power optics. Slowly building my setup to enter the world of precision .22 and just put a DNT Optics
TheOne  7-35x56 on my CZ 457 Varmint.  Going from the 1-4 on my shotgun to this thing feels like going from a tricycle to the space shuttle with no training manual.
Can anyone point me toward a good tutorial (either book or video) on using high power optics in competition?
I know there's a thousand things online but, I'm looking for more than a 20 minute overview.

Thanks

The part these videos don't address is setting up your scope for each shot.  Before zeroing the scope, be sure to carefully set the diopter.  Before shooting each new target, be sure to carefully set the parallax knob to remove parallax error.

Learning a long range scope on a 22lr is a great and affordable way to build skills.
