    There is another "remote" possibility, as follows:-- If tbe aiming mark is blotted out by the x hairs at longer range the sight / hold error can increase substantially. Shooter can easy miss-aim by +or - an moa very easily which could equate to at least a 5 inch group at 200. Best solution for this is to use a larger ring around a white bullseye within which the shooter can better centralise his aim. Might seem a weird solution but it works very well in my experience. Too small an aiming mark can create major sighting errors.
    Hey Woody,

    Thanks for the feedback. This is a very good point, i will give this a go next time. My eyes were starting to struggle a bit towards the end. We go to the point where we didn't know what to do next and there was no point trying to adjust the scope only to chase our tail. so I figured i would finish the box for practice
