Hello. I have a Bushmaster XM15 E2S with a removable carry handle. When I first bought it, I zeroed it at 25 yards then again at 50 yards. When I zeroed it, I did NOT click the rear elevation knob "down" 2 clicks to "Z" (zero). I left the rear elevation at 6/3 (300 meter battle sight), small aperture. From there, I only adjusted the front sight post and the rear windage knob left/right. My question is, how come when I shoot it out to 50-100 yards, it pretty much hits where I aim, but anywhere 25 yards and under it shoots a little low? How is that possible? It shoots on at longer distance, but low at shorter distance...That seems like it defies the laws of physics...Did I mess up during the sighting process or what? I obviously didn't follow the directions in my manual, because I was supposed to put the rear elevation to "Z" first before doing any of the stuff I did, but I zeroed it like that...Someone please explain
