I was looking at some targets and came across this target.
It says " This target is specialy designed for sighting in big-game rifles 3" high at 100 yards. Sighting in a big game rifle this way will achieve a gun's maximum usable range without having to hold high on the animal and without the bullet rising unreasonably above the line-of-sight."
Why would you do this? I rarely kill a deer farther than 150yd and my zero is for 100. I know what to dial for shorter, so what is the point of shooting an inch higher that point of aim. Did I miss something lol. Here's the target...http://www.mytargets.com/target104 grid 3inch high.pdf
