In each episode, we talk about a different topic and try to answer the most common questions we receive about it. Today, we are going to debate the use of the terms clockwise(CW) and counterclockwise(CCW).<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">You can find these terms on our specification\/data sheets associated with rifle scopes. They indicate in which direction the elevation turret turns so that the bullet impact is shifted upwards. If you look at <strong>European<\/strong> companies, they have CW rotation turrets. That means when you turn them <strong>clockwise<\/strong>, the point of impact goes up on the target.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">On the other hand, the Japanese, American, and all other <strong>non-European<\/strong> scopes are turned <strong>counterclockwise<\/strong> to get the point of impact up, The basic division between scopes is that Europeans usually use clockwise turrets while other scopes use counterclockwise turrets.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">However, there are manufacturers like Schmidt&amp;Bender, Kahles and similar which offer the possibility to choose the rotation direction you want to have on the turret. As an example: two identical Schimdt&amp;Bender ultra bright scopes 4-16&#215;56 are available with CW or CCW turrets.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">We would like to thank you for your time.
