Again, this is very person/rig specific. I was told of this 'universal truth' many years ago and was convinced to try it on a short range 3D target. Disaster.
I now have distances marked every 2 1/2 meters (for purposes of this discussion, it's very similar to yards) on my Sureloc target sight, starting at 5 m and working up to 60. Nowhere do the low-end distances even attempt to meet up with the longer distance marks.
In short, do your own experimentation. What works for your buddies may not be close for your setup.
