Sighting in

Jason Armstrong
Hey guys, new to this fly shooting only ever done short range benchrest but really want to give it ago this year, I was just wondering if anyone could help me out as to how high roughly I will kneed to be sighted at 200 to be roughly on paper at 500
It's a 25-06 rem using 100gr Sierra matchkings with 51.5 gr ar2213sc
Thanks in advance guys.
Cheers Jason

Hi Jason,
If you know your velocity you'll get very close by getting on the JBM Ballistics web site & looking at the Calculations page.
There's a wealth of great info available for free.
Regards,
Belly

Hi Jason,

Many shooters at the event will sight you on but  9 M.O.A up from 100 zero will get you in the ball park. Sighting is done before the event and you wind to your impact point on the dirt mound to one side of the targets where there will be some spray paint on dirt or similar to aim at.

See you there .
Rob

Jason,

I think to answer your question directly somewhere between 5.5-7 minutes added to your 200 sight should put you close.
Good luck see u there.
