I was out sighting in my CVA Kodiak and at 50yds its shooting 2inch groups but at 80yds, I couldnt even get on the target. Im shooting 100grains of Pyrodex pellets with Hornady SST 250grn sabots. Would 30yds make that much difference when shooting? What could be some possible solutions? Thanks! in advance.
Think about a pie, and the pie is cut into 8 pieces. As you get closer to the center of the pie all the lines converge, but out at the edge of the pie that are a great distance apart. The closer you are to the muzzle the closer the bullet will be to line of sight, so 50 yards you can be right on, but at 80 or 100 you start getting big deviations, because the arc of the bullet and the line of sight are a long way apart. I always do windage at 25 yards and then sight in for elevation at 100, sighting in 3" high at 100 usually. This makes MPBR (maximum point blank range) with most bullets right around 150 to 180 yards---so just aim and shoot anywhere from 0 to 180 yards with a ML sighted in with this method. Chap Gleason
