After this wind dies down and if you have the time I would suggest you spend time documenting the scope settings at both 50 and 100 yards so if the need ever arises you can quickly switch between the two settings.

Just remember in order for this to work correctly you need to use the same manufacturer/brand of ammo. I am sure you already know that every time you change ammo your point of aim will change. Even more so if when you change ammo the bullet weight changes the point of aim will change even more drastically at 100yds. Depending on the manufacturer and brand you can get a different point of aim between different lots of the same ammo.
SCIENCE THAT CAN’T BE QUESTIONED IS PROPAGANDA!!!

Good suggestion. Sounds like bringing and setting up 2 rifle targets at once -- one at 50 and another at 100 is something I should do.

I was wondering about how I should factor the wind out when I zero. Last time I was at the range using iron sights, I had to aim on the right post of my target to get the bullet on the circle.
