The Zero Check Thread

[whanahuia]

Nope. We shot it last week, my effort was judged closest but I didn't take the money. My group was well under moa but was one click left (10mm) and that put 3 holes over the edge of the black.

I like your thinking on this but I fear there are still too many uncontrolled variables that will make a reliable and repeatable result difficult. For example, environmental factors, wind, temperature (effects air density and powder, therefore velocity) and mirage. That's not to mention human factors, eg a cold day so extra jacket effects position etc etc.

I'd think a mechanical test of the scopes in question would be more reliable. But I doubt the protagonists would accept it anyway, this smacks of some sort of "belief" which as issues like node theory prove, people don't want the scientific explanation.

@Tentman. Im interested in trying the 5 shot challenge. However I don't have a dial repeatable scope and Im not going to do it at the cost of my current Zero. Ill try it at 100 and 400 if its acceptable to centre the Moa at the verified trajectory points at those ranges?
