A few days ago, I put the next addition onto my AR-15: A nice little 4 reticle AIM red dot sight on top of the carry handle.
I sighted it in at 50 yards. I put about 120 rounds downrange, and whether I was standing or sitting, every shot hit the black area of the paper. It was nice being able to pop off the rounds and watch them hit the berm behind the target.
After this, I moved to the 100 yard range. I shot 30 rounds sitting with rest at a fresh target, and only one out of 30 hit. I took it back to the 50 yard, and it put all of the shots back on target. Completely confused, I switched to iron sights (have a see through carry handle mount) and proceeded to put every shot on target in the black zone.
The worst part of all of this is that I have absolutely no idea where the shots were going at 100 yards, yet every one was on target at 50 yards! I aimed above, below, left, and right of the target and still couldn't get a group going. Has anyone else ever had a weird problem like this?
