Was cleaning up at the range the other day while the guys were changing targets. You know, using the leaf blower to clean the concrete walkways and such. While walking back to the firing line I passed one of the shooting tables where there were two older (older than me and I am sneaking up on 70) gents giving instructions to a new AR shooter on how to adjust his scope. They were shooting 50 yards to get it sighted in. While I passed I heard one of them say, move it 15 clicks to the left. This caught my attention. So I looked over at them. First thing I noticed was they were adjusting the windage on the left side of the scope. Huh!! The light came on. The scope was on the rifle Backwards. As politely as I could, I informed them of the problem. Oh my. One of the older gents throws his hand up in the air and shouts, it's a spectator sport now. Then says he's so mad he needs to take a walk to calm down. While he is gone I convince the new shooter to turn his scope around, because I truly believe that windage adjustment is an industry standard and it's always on the right side of the scope. His scope was a Millett AR. Any how, as I am walking away the hothead comes back and mumbles something to me. I told him he had no business teaching anyone, anything about shooting. He went for another walk. Next time I will not try and help. I will just stand there and laugh. EDIT: Forgot to mention the scope had 3 turrets. The one on the left if correctly mounted was for illumination of the reticle.
