I have mine set up very similar to sabotloaders.... I hunt open country and could be in thick timber or brush within minutes of that... So my gun is set up so my bullet doesn't go more then 2.5-3.5" above or below point of aim.... So a 1 yard shot will be the same as a 135 yard shot how I have mine set up.... I'm 2.5-3.5 low at 135 yards.... Dead on about 97 yards..... 2.5-3.5 high at about 66 yards..... I figure If I get a shot from point blank out to 130 yards or so I don't want to have to hold the sights any different on the animal and miss a shot like all the tv stars.... I hold like normal no matter what and it will be in the kill zone on any deer or elk.... And if it's a little farther then 130 yards I probably won't be able to keep a bead on the animal anyways....  :twocents:
