Shooting my Optima V2 with 300 grain Hornady SST's and 110 grains Triple Seven Loose Powder. Sighted in yesterday and got it at 2 1/4 inches high in the center at 50 yards. I did not move to 100 as I had to get home. Would you think that I should be pretty close to dead on at 100 yards? I'm hoping we don't have to shoot over 100 yards; but you never know!
Has anyone ever applied locktite to their dovetail fiber sights on their ML, so that they don't get loose?
Thanks!!!

Personally speaking, I wouldn't recommend guessing and wouldn't shoot at a live target at ranges you don't know would be guessing about. :twocents:

Sounds like you know where it is at 50.

Ya I don't want to under assume a shot, anywhere, in the field especially.
I wish I would have got a ghost ring or rear peep, it seems as though through stability and finding the target would be a little faster than fiber fire sights.
Thanks again

Hey Everyone,

This might be some where in the area - but you really will not know until you shoot it...

but @ a 100 I would bet it would be close... but after that the SS will not sink as fast...

Are all u guys under the age of 30 ? Or hunting on Mars , where having the Hubble on board is legal , cuz after 75 yards I'm not seeing enuf down the barrel on open sights to even try this on a critter , but I'm 2 weeks into muzzleloaders loar so lead on ! I'm like a sponge out here guys , fer Shure , so laff along if you must !
LOL
No I'm actually with you for sure.
I passed a shot an elk a couple of years ago because I knew I was going to hit her in the chest but not exactly where. I tried to get closer and got busted. I went back later and pulled out the range finder. 90 yards :dunno:
I shot a cow on that tag at 60 yards. Definitely a much higher percentage shot for me with iron sights.

If you're 2.25 inches high at 50 yards, you will probably be close to 4 to 5 inches higher than point of aim at 100 yards. All depends on your mechanical offset.
No you wont....you will be very close to the same POI or slightly less.
