You've probably seen the charts that indicate that if a given rifle is zeroed to hit dead-on at 25 yards, it will be at or near the point of aim at 100 yards. The first time you hear this, you might end up with the classic "sideways head, knitted brow" look, while you think it over. It seems a bit weird at first, but it's easy to grasp.
