[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2023933, member: 75451"] This is not meant as an attack on you, merely using your post as a basis for my comment! Without knowing the history of these shooters, I’ll ask this.....are they hunters or shooters? In real world hunting situations, I believe that having a zero somewhere beyond 100 yards is infinitely desirable! With a zero beyond the 100 yard mark.....it substantially lengthens the “hunters” range to quickly place shots on big game. If the animal is beyond the “point-blank” range of the cartridge/rifle, the “hunter” should have adequate time to plug in all of the necessary values to achieve the shot. Unless the game being fired upon is considerably smaller than deer and larger game....a few inches off of the “perfect” placement is inconsequential! The targets that “hunters” hunters encounter at ranges under 400 yards.... often may “not” afford the “hunter” with sufficient time to deploy all of the technology ( range, shot angle, temperature, barometric pressure, wind angle/velocity, ect.) the bipod, mono-pod, for a surgically placed shot! The guys that shoot steel or paper, rarely have mere seconds to get a shot downrange on a moving or soon to move target! Jus’ say’n! memtb [/QUOTE]
