    I came across these graphics on arfcom and asked the author, pezboytate, if I can use his material here as a reference for our membership.

    He was kind enough to allow us to use them.

    Surprised a 50M zero wasn't used rather than the 200M. I guess it's similar enough (if not reversed). Seems a little unrealistic to dial in your EOtech at 200M, when you could do it at 50M. Well, at least for me - given my vision and range limitations.

    Very good way to represent the information though. Thanks.

    Well for one thing a 50m zero and a 200m zero if they are the same height point in the bullet trajectory (as an example) I find that if I sight in at 50m while the hit point is the same at 200m the group will have a lot more spread that if I sight in at 200m because a correction at 50m might be small but it becomes a lot bigger error at 200m. If I sight in carefully at 200m the group will be very tight at 50m but not the other way around.
