Hello everybody, I am newbie to this sight and I was just playing around with the pointblank software, pretty nice! I just wasnt quite sure if I was entering the correct information though.... For instance, if I was using a rifle wich was sighted in 2 inches high at 100yds, how would you enter the proper information on the target zero distance and the height of sight above barrel? Please bear with me as I have never used any type of computer program like this before, I would like to compare them with the real paper, at distances I have already shot to see just how close it is. Thanks, any info would be appreciated

The height is just the distance from the centerline or the barrel to the centerline of the scope. I just use a ruler and measure from the top of the stock forearm (this is usually close to the center of the bore) to the center of the scope objective lens. That should be close enough for use in the program.

Thanks Blaine for the info, I think I got it figured out now. I was reading the incorrect column "total drop" and thinking this was the bullet drop. I should have read the threads on definitions first, now I realize that the "height" column is your drop(a little confusing at first). These numbers are a lot more comparable to my numbers! Very Happy I guess its better to ask questions, than to be left in the dark! Thanks again.
