[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1212134, member: 1656"] Physics dictates that the bullet starts falling from the bore axis the instant it leaves the barrel, with the rate of drop accelerating at 9.81 m/s2. Any arc is introduced by elevating the axis of the bore over the axis of the ground. If your scope is mounted in line with your bore, what you describe is not possible. You did not mention mounting on a canted base. To me an inch high at 100 yards, the gun is zeroed at roughly 180 yards. So you can't be shooting both 1 inch high at 100 and 3 inches at 200 yards. While a scope mounted high from the bore axis can create some interesting geometry with impact points, especially at close range, the most likely reason for what you observed is that the true center of the groups is not where you measured them, or it was shooter error. The last time I had a gun which shot to the same zero at both 100 and 200 yards the scope was shortly in a box back to Bushnell for warranty repair. [/QUOTE]
