My home range for high-power league shooting is only 200 yards. We use reduced targets for prone and prone rapid.
I'm going to be using a newly pinned removable sight on my flat-top upper next season.
I plan to zero the elevation by adjusting the front post to hit the X at 200 yards with a 6 o'clock hold. are there any standards or guidelines as to what distance the rear sight should be indicating for this setup? Or does it not really matter as long as I know what my setup is?
The last couple of years I've had the rear sight bottomed out for this range, which also nearly bottoms out the front post. The sight used to be set up to indicate 3/6 at 2 clicks up from bottoming out. Now that it's pinned, it bottoms out showing 3/6 and I don't think I can change that anymore. I'd like to have a click or two of flexibility for ammo and/or temperature changes.
Any insights appreciated!
