[QUOTE="Professor Doolittle, post: 2473112, member: 118902"] Lets say you have a two inch group and zero and take a single followup shot that hits dead on the bullseye. That single shot could be off the true group center by an inch even if there's no mistake in how the zero was adjusted. That's eight inches at 800 yards. That's error on top of all the other errors. Because of the fact that errors can be positive and negative and cancel each other out a person can be fooled by the result, so to my mind you have to nail down every source of error individually.
