[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2855318, member: 17889"] Always zero at 100yds. I twirl for elevation greater than 1/2 my target height (allows hold on the target rather than in air above), always hold for wind, as it is so fleeting, target typically longer than its height. Brian Litz of Applied Ballistics....yeah he is a rocket engineer, and reportedly knows a couple things abut ballistics.....recommends 100 yds. Close enough that atmospherics, spin, Coriolis, etc aren't discernible in the results. Also, when traveling, one should always confirm zero. It's more likely that your guide, host, campsite will afford a 100yd target than longer ranges. Many shots are missed/game wounded from longer zeros when an unexpectedly closer shot presents. Always thought those that zero at longer ranges probably don't really grasp the basics, merely think they are being way tacticooler than those 100yd guys. [/QUOTE]
