Sure there was a time ..... But that was before the idea of shooting down the Pipe became popular. What is shooting down the pipe? Imagine the kill zone of a given aninal, then imagine a pipe between you and the animal with the pipe laying over the kill zone. The distance where your bullet starts at the bottom of the pipe and never raises above the pipe and falls to the bottom is your effective range. For many modern bullets sighting in at 1.5" high at 100 yards the bullet will stay inside the pipe (and inside the kill zone) well past 200 yards. I believe in the K.I.S.S. principle sighting in at 1.5" seems logical. By the way sighting in at 100 yards will put your bullet high at 125-150 yards in most modern firearms.
yes, I'm familiar with the philosophy... I just don't subscribe to it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
