Default Adjustable single pin sight question

Hey guys,

The gap between 40 and 50 yards on my sight tape is smaller than the gap between 30 and 40. Is this normal? its a spot Hogg fast Eddie.

Not normal, must have made a custom tape? On the dial type sights you have to look at the dial the same way all the time.

That is not normal. I think there's an issue with your tape.

Have you tried shooting out to 50 yards? That doesn't sound normal

Yes, I made the tape myself. 10, 20, 30, 40 all make sense. When I started shooting at 50 yards my groups were exactly where I wanted but the gap from 40-50 yards ended up being smaller than the gap from 30-40 yards. I was working with a little bit of a tail wind which may have affected things, but I wouldn't have thought by this much.

As the housing moves your Anchor might change even though you don't notice, likely your Anchor is changing causing the effect you are having.
