Did you know that if you sight in your gun at 50 yards, you could have a difficult time hitting a deer at a farther distance? Something to think about prior to regular gun season.

If you sight in your gun at 50 yards, at 100 yards you would be almost 4 inches low and at 125 yeards, over 8 inches low. This is assuming you shoot a round ball fired at a velocity of 1800 fps.

If you sighted your gun in at 100 yards, you would be almost 2 inches high at 50 yards, dead on at 100, and at 125 only 3.5 inches low.

Now is you rifle going to be the same, maybe, but always consider that bullets do not travel in a flat tragectory, but more a bell shaped path.

Comments anyone...
