2. How It works
The rifle scope works by magnifying the object
that you want to shoot. For it to do that for you
it has lots of bits of glass through the middle of
the scope. To get it at the right distance for you
to shoot with out missing the target you can
turn little knobs and that will move the bits of
glass to magnify the object.
3. Different types
There a lots of different types of rifle scopes that
you could have but it depends on what you want
to hit and how good a quality you want it to be.
For example if your shooting targets for
competition your going to want a different
scope compared to in the bush deer hunting.
4. Other types of sights
• Open sights require the hunter to line up two
points at the end of the barrel and just in
front of the stock on the gun.
• Aperture sights are like open sights but have a
ring just in front of the stock instead of a
point.
• Laser sights project a laser beam from the
barrel to the target.
5. Who invented it
The first telescopic sight was invented between
1835-1840 and it was made by Morgan James of
Utica. Morgan James was a civil engineer and in
1855 William Malcolm began making his own
telescopic sight and William used the same
plans as what James had and improved things
like the windage and elevation adjustments.
