Two shot sight-in question - 10/31/16 12:21 PM
Here's a good one for those familiar with the two shot sight in method.
Just to recap, the method begins by taking a shot from a solid rest with the crosshairs on the bullseye. With the gun not yet zeroed but bore sighted, the bullet should hit somewhere on the paper target. Next, the rifle is held in place, again with the crosshairs on the bullseye. The scope sight is then adjusted so the crosshairs match the bullet hole.
So here's the question.
If the final zero is to produce a shot that's one inch high at the distance the shot was made, to what point is the scope adjusted?
My thoughts are to a point one inch below the bullet hole. Correct?
