[QUOTE="lerch, post: 121743, member: 3115"] Man I wish I had this all in a email or something so I could just paste it but here we go anyway. Me and Bill Bailey went to a seminar over these scopes and this is how they laid it out to us, and they went on and on about this bad *** shooter named Ian McMurchy, personnally i have never heard of him but i guess they are quite fond of him, go figure!!!

Zero your rifle at 100yds [b](we really need Ian to confirm the original zero here because i aint sure)[/b] After zeroing the rifle on this dot either move the target or yourself to 200yds and take aim at the same dot again.
