[QUOTE="clark33, post: 2023754, member: 100482"] Lol again, the reason for a 100 yard zero then dialing your walk around “field” zero when you’re at your location is because that adjustment you make to get to 200 or 300 will vary day to day, location to location. Your 100 yard zero will not, at least not enough to notice or compound error over distance. Example. In Idaho this year with my 100ud zero it took .3 mils to get to 200, in Wyoming a month earlier it took .2 mils. Now that’s not much, but if I just zeroed it at 200 where I live and then took off hunting it could potentially be .2 mils off or .4 mils off just based on different humidity, density altitude, temp etc. so if I’m starting off with a zero that’s potentially .2 to whatever mils off, that error will compound when I dial at distance, potentially enough to make a poor shot. It’s not rocket science, and zeroing at 100 would be the K.I.S.S. of all K.I.S.S. IF you plan on dialing your elevation it’s advised to zero at 100. If you prefer to zero at 200 or 300so you can hold center mass, great, but dialing past that at any substantial distance will be subject to error and god forbid a wounded animal. [/QUOTE]
