[QUOTE="wrad, post: 381474, member: 19441"] Oops! Something was telling me that I had asked a dumb question. I did, in fact, mix yds with ft, so my distances were exaggerated. Very embarassing mistake for an engineer. But my original question was where to place the gun on the 100 yd mark for zeroing. One helpful respondent came back with a vote for putting the muzzle of the gun on that mark, since the muzzle is where the external ballistics start. That would be my vote also. But I have seen many good shooters set up to zero with the gun at different spots - one guy even put his [I]seat [/I]on the mark, with everything else out in front of that. One thing I was wanting to avoid was to show up at a match with a bunch of you pros, with my fancy new gun and all the right patches on my hat & jacket & stuff, and set up to zero my gun at the wrong spot with God and everyone else watching. I can't stand giggles. I guess I blew that with my yd/ft error. Thanks for your help everyone. [/QUOTE]
