[QUOTE="carpetman2, post: 1393323, member: 18775"] My timber rifles are all zeroed at 100 yards, my two long range hunting rifles are zeroed at 200 for this one reason, and that is for a sudden close encounter of say 300 yards with only a second or two to set up for a shot. In that way, if the animal, specially a deer is say 320 and no time to range or dial I can just aim and fire and be pretty close guessing the range to be in there. Of course guessing ranges, even that close is not a very good idea, but it does occur occasionally. That happened two years ago and it paid off big time. Had I been zeroed at 100 I may have been too low for a clean kill and would more than likely passed up on the opportunity. [/QUOTE]
