[QUOTE="Jeffrthehunter, post: 1387850, member: 98990"] I am sure this has been discussed many times before, I have searched and cannot find a good info thread. In the past I have always ran a 200 yard zero and now I am thinking a 100 yard might be better. While hunting last year I fell and bumped my gun. Needing to check zero it would have been easier to check things at 100 yards. I shot a couple rounds at 200 and was off about 1" and decided to call it good, still having doubts that maybe things were not perfect (hate not having 100% confidence). BTW, did get a Whitetail the next day at 400 yards and a Mule deer a few days after that. So now I have switched to 100 yard zero, making sure I am shooting an almost perfect POI group and then getting all my validation data from there. My thought is that checking my zero in the field will be easier and more reliable. Not needing to worry about wind or air density. Am I way off base, would love to hear everyone’s thoughts? Thanks, Jeff [ATTACH=full]88233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]88234[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
