I doubt the markings are accurate - what you want is that the sight doesn't move around the view if you move your eye around - i.e. the whole picture should stay still (or near too it)

Yep thats it - so set it for the range you normal will shoot - also having your eye dead centre helps too!

As spook says if its set wrong you can "aim" with your eye (and not the rifle) and completely miss -

I always set any parallax scope to infinity as I think they are a waste of time...in fact I try and avoid parallax scopes as they are just one more thing to blame when you miss.
