[QUOTE="Plowboy85, post: 2023984, member: 66137"] My personal protocol is 100yd zeros across the board and typically will go ahead and make elevation adjustments to reflect its MPBR. All of my scopes are NF so I’ll set the zero stop to go past the zero about half a revolution and of course the zero is 100yd. If I need to make adjustments for 600yd or 9.8 MOA for example and my MPBR was already set at 250ish or 3MOA up then I’ll just add to what is already there in the elevation which would be 6.8MOA If it is a quick shot and I don’t have time to adjust I’ll hold in the scope. I have yet to have a scenario that this caused an issue. I do understand some guys don’t have zero stop scope or scope turrets that are not able to be set to zero during initial sighting in. Just this past weekend we were hunting the Missouri rut and I seen a good buck at 150ish then lost him in the brush because of the hot doe, he popped out at a tree line that was 340. I knew my MPBR distance so just held the upper area of the lung because I knew I’d be a touch lower on impact but had no time for looking at range card. Practice practice practice is how we get better, take the time to setup and shoot multiple distances in no rhythm always taking your scope back to the zero location you wish to set as your reference. I friend and I typically sip on a few cold beers and will range a gong for the other and go through the exercise of looking at dope card or making a quick holdover then executing the shot, it’s simple but it builds a procedure and confidence in yourself.
