RippinSVT Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 As for PCC yes, for me to get a head shot at 15yrds and in, my dot is at the very top edge of the target. I learned this bullshit the other day. Sighted my dot at 20 real quick, ran off to a match. Shot fast/clean A's all match, then stitched a no-shoot 3 TIMES at 7 yards trying to make a couple pairs of headshots. Got home, shot at 5-7 yards to find that my gun shoots 3-4" low up close. I'm new to this open stuff. At least irons don't lie...sight at 50, dead on all the way out +/-1.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yep. Open guns and rifles have "high up" sights, and the sight-height-above-bore issues comes into play. I've been working on this in Open, still have to consciously remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadMakeReady Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I recently started shooting a stock 2 and was having some issues with the LPA getting it dialed in right . I went anywhere from 10 yrs out to 30 and it seems to do best and zero at 20 - 25 give or take . My issue is I still think the gun shoots a bit low for my liking but I cannot adjust the rear LPA any further so might have to start playing with fronts now .

seadog_99 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Shooting iron sights and 200gr 40 major I sight at 10 yds which is still dead on (within a couple of inches) at 25 and easily in the A-zone at 50.

Hi-Power Jack Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 the gun shoots low but I cannot adjust the rear LPA any further so might have to start playing with fronts now . An option is to play with different weight bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvc4you Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 18 yards, 124gr at 1380 fps stays pretty much flat to 100 yds, check any bullet drop app and choose according to your load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 For me I use the following distances... Iron Sights = 10 yards Red Dot = 15 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hello: Open I use 18 yards and iron sights I use 10 yards. I also know where they hit at different distances as well. Test out to 50 yards or so. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I go with 25 yds. Then I also make sure to know how my pistol shoots up close at say 5 or 7 yards and further out at 35 yds. That way I'm covered on any stages where there's an up close shot on a head shot target and the occasional long shot. I agree. Whatever yardage you choose to site your dot at, the most important thing is to know what's going to happen at a 5 yard head shot and a 35 yard shot. Whether you site it in at 15 or 25, you'll still need to be confident with your "hold" at 5 yards AND 35 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo-Hombre Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Another vote for 18 yards, open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge40 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) 25 yards and I shoot limited. Edited June 6, 2016 by Edge40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 17 yards, eclipsing the fiber on my target. Group shoot at 25 yards to see where it hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBugBit Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 POI=POA at 15, then I confirm windage at distances like 35 or 40 yards; results might call for a tiny tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bret Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 15 yards at a recent match there was a steel plate about 90 yards out, not part of the match. after the match I shot it with my limited gun, 3rd hit on Steel. same plate, 1st shot holding dead on with my open gun in .38 super comp. most targets are within 15 to 18 yards in USPSA.
