Hey folks! I'm in the process of zeroing my M1, but I have a few questions:
1) I do not have a scope, and don't plan on getting one. That said, I want to do my zeroing at 25 yards, but set for 100 yards. How high do I need to be shooting at 25 yards to be zeroed for 100 yards?
2) I know for match shooting a lot of people do the "pumpkin on a post" sight picture. However, I want the gun to shoot where I'm aiming. I'm told this is a "Navy-style" sight picture hold. If I take the M1 hunting, I'm going to hold the front sight right on the deer's vitals. I'm not going to think to myself, "Okay, if I had a standard rifle target over the deer, I'd need to hold these many inches low, so I should aim for the belly of the deer..."
Hope my questions make sense! I do know how to loosen the elevation once I have it zeroed so that the markings on the knob will actually make sense.
