how high of a hold do you guys use for rifle in that close. I stayed after the match and tried to find my poi/poa for up close 1-7 yd range. prior to the match I assumed a little under 3" would be ok but during verification it was around 4" @ 5 yds. my optic is zerod at 100.
For the Multigun we shoot, I already know the longest shot isn't going to be over 125 yards (and that is only if we shoot diagonally across the 100-yard bay, so mostly it is just 100 yards), with most of the targets going to be from 5 to 40 yards. As such---I simply put my optic dead-on at 25 yards.
I'm using a Burris TAC30 (and I love it for our matches) and the reticle looks like this:
As such, at the 1x power from about 15 yards to 35 yards the center of the middle dot is right on, and at 50 yards the top of the middle dot is right on. So for anything from 10 to 50. I just put the dot on it and I'm happy.
From 3-5 yards the second dot down from the middle is right on.
At 100 yards, at 4x, I put the center of the "T" (above the middle dot) in the center of the target, and it hits. When I was checking my scope last September to make sure I hadn't shifted the zero when I bashed it around, I did this:
3x5 card, 5 shots at 100 yards, 4x red dot scope, only using the mag as a monopod, rapid fire. (That's multigun rapid, not bullseye rapid). Professional shooters would laugh, but I'm perfectly happy with it.So---your mileage may vary. Since I only use this rifle for our Multigun (and it would work exactly the same for home defense, if I needed it in that capacity), that 25-yard zero works really well.
