    Worth getting cheap spotter?

    Getting in some practice with the .22 I've noticed the holes are significantly smaller than the 6.5CM.
    "Well d'uh" I hear you say, but that doesn't change the fact that at 50m if I strain at max zoom on my 3-9x40 scope I can juuuuuust make out the holes, and have no chance at 100m.
    So I need more zoom, and I have no money so the only option I can see is a super cheap and nasty spotter with a phone mount on it like this one.

    My question is, will useless optics at 40x zoom give me a better chance of seeing my .22 bullet holes in targets at 100m in full daylight at the range? In a few years I'll be able to afford a spotter for hunting so that's not a consideration.
    Thoughts?

    Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
