[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 2071929, member: 17593"] At my age, I love to still learn new things! A couple years ago, I did not understand nor how to "dial" a scope. I shot a prairie dog so far off I was all the down the crosshairs and into the bottom of the rectangular box at the bottom of the vertical "hair" ! Then later on a good friend introduced me to dialing! Wow ! Yep, get a solid 100 yd. zero, set the turret with a bit of wiggle room(if it's zero stop scope) for those occasional close up shots, and dial away! No need to worry where you were zeroed if you have set it. But most apps want a 100 yd. zero and it makes it so much simpler to dial up and come back. You can even do this with scopes without a zero stop. Little more involved, but doable and you will go "duh! Why didn't I think of that!" when you do it. [/QUOTE]
