[QUOTE="jdavistx, post: 1944955, member: 89418"] A 100 yard zero for shooting at 1000+ yards doesn't give you enough resolution. For example measurement at 100 yards +/- 0.1" is 1 inch at 1000 yards. Add to that all of the other variables and you're not on target. Is your MV constant? Air density? Wind - how well can you read it over distance? My go to reading list is Brian Litz. Accuracy and Precision. Do a WEZ analysis, factor in the base and see if you have enough reach. See what you get. It's just math until you take the shot but the math helps a lot. The point is, I confirm accuracy at 50% of my longest anticipated shot. Precision is what you get at shorter zero's. They are not the same. [/QUOTE]
