Default NEW USED .223 Scope Question

A friend gave me a New England .223 with a Red Head 4x12 scope. I went out to the range yesturday and shot the thing for my first time. After sighting it in at 20 yds I put 2 bullets through the same hole. The range master had me drop it 1.5" low at 20 yds so that at 100 yds. it would be dead on.

Delimma?!?!?!

When I was @ 20 yds I pulled the scope down to 20 yd marker on the front of the scope. When I shot @ 100 yds I zoomed out to the 100 yd marker on the front of the scope. It hit exactly 1.5" low in the exact same spot as it did at the 20 yd mark??? What's the deal? Should I click up? Should I keep the power around 70 yds and not mess with it?

Help this new gun shooter. I have a bazillion coyotes calling my name!
