[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1720768, member: 104589"] I doubt your zero at 1000 ft elevation vs 8000 ft elevation is going to be significantly different for 100 yards. If your 100 yard zero for 1000 ft elevation is between "clicks" then I think you are over analyzing the situation to set your zero 1/2 a "click" low. That is what we like to do though and I would be setting the zero at 1/2 click low for 100 yards at 1000 feet elevation just like you are thinking about. A 1/4" differences in zero will not make any significant difference on your hunt. What could make a significant difference on your hunt is what your bullet drop is at 500 yards. Computer programs are not going to consistently calculate this correctly. I've seen them close but you really need to test out your gun and your load at different elevations and ranges to verify the the computer data. If you plan on taking longer shots on your hunt you really owe it to the animal and yourself to test the drop. [/QUOTE]
