If a Garand is sighted in at 100 yards,should it be point of impact/point of aim or a bit higher? What would be the impact on the target at 25 yards when properly sighted at 100 yards? Thanks,Byron
I'm no expert, but I'd think that would be personal preference about the 100 yard thing. I put the bullseye on top of my front sight post, if I can even see it. At 25 yards, I'd guess the POI would be a little low compared to 100 yds.
If you are target shooting you have a choice of the 6 O'clock hold or the Navy (Center mass.) hold.
The 6 O'clock hold is the easiest to teach and to learn for beginning target shooters. If you ARE target shooting, that's what I'd recommend at this time.
The Navy hold is a bit harder to learn for a beginner, but for an experienced shooter it is more precise and leads to better scores down the road.
If you are wanting to set your rifle up for hunting or HD-SD (Irregular shaped targets) then you will probably want to use a center mass hold and zero with POI about 2 inches high at 100 yards. This will give you a point blank trajectory on deer or man sized targets out to 300 yards easily.
I very much appreciate y'alls help. I was recently given and H&R garand by an old friend. I shot M14's in basic in 68 and that was a long time ago.I too prefer center mass. Thanks,Byron
