[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1007654, member: 2011"] Bushman, I hear ya!!! Kirby Allen has a fairly recent post regarding this topic that changed my thinkin' big time!! He zeros at 1200 or something then works back from there. His thinking seems to be that minuscule error @ 100 results in significant error at distance. Made sense to me. I now get the longest distance spot on. Usually takes only a couple of shots. I then work back to 500, the shortest distance I can shoot at this spot. Then as you stated, the 100 yard group falls where ever it falls. Saves a ton of shooting time/bullets/powder/barrel life and frustration. Found I was stuck in my old bench rest habit/thinking/etc. So, you've stumbled onto a good thing.:) Also, who in the hell shots anything, on purpose, at less than 200 yards. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
