[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 345211, member: 1007"] +2 on the lighting. Pay attention as to where the sun is when you sight in and then where it is when your group seems to shift. I have found that when I sight in on extremely overcast days or when the sun is at 12 oclock and another day the sun is at 3 oclock, my POI is right. When it is at 9 oclock, the POI is left. I noticed this first in archery. Every time the sun was left, my groups were left. Every time the sun was centered, so were my groups. When it was right so were my groups. All other seriousd outdoor tournament archers noted the same thing. I dont know the science behind it but know it is a proven fact that differing lighting conditions affect your perception of target to scope alignment. [/QUOTE]
