[QUOTE="Sierra1wardog, post: 1631220, member: 103466"] There is nothing wrong with point blank method of zeroing at 200, 300 or what ever extended yardage you want. Consideration must be made for the environmental effects at those ranges influencing an actual zero. Also understanding the point of impact for those up close shots and the limitations for farther shots. Great thing about it is if the target is within the vital zone point blank range then there is little thinking involved in those buck fever moments. Targets outside of that angular window may lead to more frustration than just dialing up from 100. I zero most of my rifles at 100 yards, as the zero will be influenced less by atmospherics, I hunt at variable elevations, I regularly shoot past max point blank and I always shot in a wide range of conditions. All these factors matter and they matter less with a 100 yard zero. One thing to consider is that I also use a scope with turrets and a modern reticle so fine tuning an adjustment or holding for a quick shot is no big deal. [/QUOTE]
