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?!?!
You are right I didn't get the same thing as what you intended. You are absolutely correct that if you are out 1" at 100 u will be 10 times, at least, that much out at 1000. Problem as I see it is a ten mph wind will put you out WAY more than 10 inches at a 1000 yards, as will an ES of 100 fps, which isn't real uncommon. There is way more to hitting a target at even 500 yards than you POI/POA at 100.
