one thing i have learned about shooting and zeroing/sighting in a scope... either you can or you can't!

no shortage of vids out there... do this, this is how, for the beginner, for the expert... up, down... side ways, too... all in all and any ways but loose! CW for this and CCW for this if... but for me, it seems that if you spend enuff time doing the

and paying attention... at 100 yads is how many clicks?... MOA here, or MOA there? how many MOA?... mil spots or std cross hairs... on and on... do enuff and sometimes you mite just get lucky. so was the case for me. ymmv ~
even with some notes, study... CW this or CCW that?... etc...omg!

can be confusing. then i ran across a comment in one of those scope vids. i took note! the shooter said, "once zero'd and now shooting for effect (accuracy) once you have your test group... place the bullet! push it up, or push it down... just push it to the target." so then, to use chipper's example above...

1) scope -0- 'd on bench
2) bullets low and to the R. so, push the bullet... raise the low. ie, follow arrow on elevation knob... few clicks at a time. maybe 1/8th to 1/4 turn... ez does it
3) bullets hitting to R, so push to L. windage knob arrow says this way to L. so, turn knob that way... ie, push bullet to the L.
once i tried that approach, scope elevation and windage ez to tweak... shot by shot or by group...
a few mentioned do one thing at a time. get E correct, then do W, but i think both ok if u can just remember...
'push the bullet to the target!' (1 click = 1/4 MOA)
an important item to know as in deer hunting... generally speaking, a 30-06 round etc at 100 yds is more or less a flat trajectory. so bore sighting very effective! but that 'flat curve' depends on wgt of the round and the rate, ft per sec, and the trajectory desired. knowing that, then shoot group and adjust E and W accordingly. push the bullet accordingly to further the accuracy. (does not factor in the shooter! lol

) for further distances, MOA etc to understand (gravity effect, speed, curvature angle. etc) will be important. one thing for sure in hunting and shooting distances...
Accuracy Matters! lol
