Default Unloaded at the range

After my hunt this morning I decided to unload at the range.
The rest was already set at 50 yards so I used my pack as shooting bags.
I'm shooting a 45 cal CVA Kodiak Pro Magnum / SS Camo synth / 90g BH-209 / 195g Dead Center Bullet / CCI-M Primer / 3x9x50 Simmons Optic
I put up a target and fired from a clean bore.I jerked the trigger on shot #1
I calmed down on shots 2, 3 & 4

Shots 2, 3 & 4 can be covered with a quarter

I am so glad I checked the zero today,I am 5" above POA @ 50 yards.That's to high dont you think?
I did some math and figured that if each click is 1/4" @ 100 the it should be 1/8" @ 50 so I started clicking down.
I put up my second target

I'm to low now and not jerking as much.

Only the first shot was from a clean bore,there was no swabbing.
I need to shoot at 100 now and get a good zero.
