Thread: Dumb question - showing pic's of targets

Because their zero is likely to be 150+ Say the zero is 200m (Just for arguements sake) depending on the calibre and velocity (Basically) it would make their POI at 100m 1.5" high at 100m (Again for arguements sake) and they would be 1.5" low at 260m (Again for arguements sake) Now what this means that anything under 250m just point at it and shoot and you will be within a 3" circle of where you aimed. No need to dial in. So back to the 100m POI. It is confirmation by grouping at 1.5" high that
1. You are grouping well
2. The rounds/loads you are using are good/bad
3. The POI is correct for this range.
4. You need to confirm by shooting at 250m that your supposed POI is in fact 1.5" low
5. It is easier to see groupings at 100m and make adjustments that is to see groupings at 200m
6 . Any environmental effects are minimised the closer you shoot. Wind, swirlin wind, mirage etc
7. Scope parellax setting if it has one is correct

Its about getting one thing right at a time.
Good groups = good ammo and shooting technique and rifle set up (Its a stinky trying to get this bang on. SO, eliminate 2 out of three. Usually the set up and technique. Tight scope, possibly floating barrel etc. Know your own quality of shooting. If your mate can shoot 1" groups with his rifle and you hop on it and get 4" groups things are looking good. If you pull of a 1.5" groups you a re looking good.
POI vertical difference from the bull = Field knowledge of where your rounds are going at that particular distance.
