There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

From 100 yards to 200 yards, I come up 18 minutes with Match velocity ammunition. 

I hold center, squeeze, look for the hit. It's usually in the white or bottom of the black at 6 o'clock. Three more shots to confirm, then correct to the center. 

If there is no hit on the first shot, I hold the top of the target and look for the hit in the center of the target. Then crank on 4 MOA to assure the shot is visible. Back to the center hold and corrections to the center.

One bad habit I developed at 200 yards was looking for the bullet while it was in the air. With the Sun behind you and little crosswind, you can see the track and predict the hit. This habit meant I was not performing a complete follow-through.

Wayne, that is what I had written down in my book from sighting in. that was with SK Pistol match Special. The scope is a lyman jts. 6x
That is what I have written down, over the weekend I will look and see if I have a score sheet from a match I shot and see if the numbers are different. they may be. I do know I was kind of disapointed with some of the ammo I had tried. Some shot really really good at 100, pretty good at 150 and then the wheels fell off at 200.

I really like the idea of KNOWING the gun/sight combination settings for various ranges.  Shooting M14 we'd go 8 clicks up (from bottoming out) at 200, 10 at 200, and 12-13 for 600.  Made it a no-brainer in QUICKLY making the adjustment for different range targets.
