You can be dead on a 100 and if you get your dial up or wind hold wrong you are still going to hit sweet FA.

Perhaps you misunderstood what I said or I didn't explain myself very well.
OP asked this:

My point was, if you're NOT dead on at 100 yards, at longer distances the difference between where you're aiming and where the bullet will hit grows.
Assuming perfect conditions, if you're 1" off at 100 yards, that will be a lot more than 1" difference between point of aim and where the bullet hits at 1000 yards.
What I was saying is, you need to be bang on the mark at 100 yards.
Is that not so?!?!
