I would like to shoot more this winter. So I was thinking about setting up a "short" range in my basement. 30 feet or so.
But I don't know where the bullet would hit the paper at 30 feet, if I'm zeroed inat 200 yards? Make sense?
I would almost think that at that distance, it should be dead center. Except the scope is 1.5" above the bore.
I know about the safety issues and will take extreme caution if I do this.
Sound proofing, sand or some type of balistics gel backstop, etc.

At 30 feet, the bullet has not had much of a chance to move up in relation to the line of sight, so itwill still strikeabout 1.5" below the line of sight, regardless of the actual zero range..........
