Being a city dweller, I don't have the option of choosing my target distance unfortunately, and I have no farming buddies within easy reach for an afternoon's plinking.

I want to practice hunting shooting stances and can't do this on the 25m range and don't particularly want to do it all in .308 on the 100yd range.

Maybe what I should do is zero it at the 25yd range and then just set up two targets at 100yd - one to aim at, and one at point of impact. After all, all you are really looking for is grouping size.

Maybe just put a bright point of some kind on the top of the target frame (1" orange sticker?) to aim at and a target at an appropriate distance below that to catch the bullet strike?

Save me bending my scope for no good reason.

Thanks for asking the question.
