I checked the zero on my Oden Works 6.5 Grendel yesterday with the 120 Sierra Pro Hunter. I plan on using only it for rifle deer hunting this year. On the property where I hunt we have targets set at 100, 177, 596 and 997 yards. The reason for the odd yardage is because this is the only places shooting from one side of the mountain to other spots on the other side of the mountain that targets could be safely placed. There is a 6" steel swinger at the 177 yard target. I have a Primary Arms 1 to 8 power scope with the ACS or something like that reticle. I zeroed one and a half inches high at 100 yards with the tip of the little inverted V like the instructions said for the Grendel and that makes the other yardage marks correspond to POI. Instructions say that the bottom of the inverted V will be dead on at 200 and it pretty much is. I placed the inverted V in the center of the 6" 177 yards steel and the upside down 3/4 circle that surrounds the inverted V perfectly matched the 6" round steel. Two shots hit right where the bottom of the inverted V legs would cover and they touched each other. I guess I am ready to hunt deer because in the Mountains of TN the average shot is under 50 yards. I plan on using my cross bow during bow and muzzle loader season. Bow season opens next Saturday and I am taking a week off to hunt.
