[QUOTE="Brent, post: 53362, member: 99"] [B]The induced 3.75 MOA of correction for the 100 yard zero now offsets the round from the intended POI by 3.75 MOA.[/B] Dave, doesn't it offset the round from the "intended POI" (POA) by only 2.0 MOA, this is only at 100 yards though? 1.75 MOA is still needed for the POI and POA to intersect at 100 yards... true? Anything further (2 MOA more) would be the offset amount... true? [B]Change target to 200 yards and add 2 MOA of elevation correction and then shooting straight down... the original 3.75 MOA is still present and we have an additional 2 MOA entered by the shooter to attempt to set the scope for 200 yards. The total POA to POI error now is 5.75 MOA and the round will strike 11.5 inches from the intended POI.[/B] I think you're correct in the 200 yards situation. The initial 1.75 MOA needs to be considered here, and thus added to the 2 MOA additional come up for the new 200 yard zero... a total of 5.75 MOA, or 11.5" high from POA. I may still be somewhat confused here... What would POI be in relation to POA at 125 yards? Interesting take on close range angled shots, never thought about it really.
