[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1643063, member: 96226"] The distance you zero your rifle at (meaning how far you are from the paper) does not need to be your actual zero distance (meaning the distance at which your POI for vertical - your POA for vertical, ignoring wind induced lateral. drift). The two are orthogonal to each other. For that very reason it makes little sense to actually fire at a target any closer or more distant than about 100yrds/m for the purpose of making POI = POA.
