Good distance to zero rifle?

[bigbrowndog]

Jesse, not being familiar with the JP target, I would say make a target that is big enough for you to see with your 4x scope. just because the target aiming point is big doesn't mean your groups will be out of proportion. i typically shoot at a 12" target with irons at 300 but can achieve 6" groups or better.

make a bullseye that you can see around your dot so you know where its at when you pull the trigger. i think that kurt guy can help you out.

This is my zero that I use for shooting irons. The data is generated from a ballistics program and confirmed out to 250 at my local range. I don't trust the numbers without verifying. I will be able to confirm out to 500 and beyond the next time I get out to the farm. As you can see, I don't like trying to hold over with iron sights. At ranges out to 50 yards on the rifle hoser stages, it is quite simple. The only place it is a little dicey would be if they stuck some no-shoots in front of a paper out around 200 yards. I used this zero at the Ozark 3-gun last weekend and it worked out very well for me. Gave me a nice six o'clock sight picture on 10 inch plates.

What is a good distance to zero at for the rifle portion of the match? Thanks,

I use a 50 yard 0 which is a 200 yard zero as well if you are shooting 55 grain ammo. I use 77 grain Sierra Match so its a 50 yard zero and a 175 yard 0.

Here are some charts.

25 yards (300 yards as well with 55 grain)

50 yards (200 yards with 55 grain)

100 yards

100 Yards seems to work for me....
