Let me get this straight, you change POA as you change distance when working on your zero?
That is not advisable, at all.
When you zero your rifle, you should hold POA for all distances you shoot, to determine your POI at said distances so that you can apply holds as needed based on this "DOPE".
A zero for a fighting carbine should give you optimum Point Blank Range, meaning that out to a certain distance you don't need to apply holds in order to score an acceptable hit.
When zeroing, a few key things:
-Never chase ideal POI initially, focus on consistant grouping
-Only make adjustments when shooter error has been ruled out - keep POA the same, always!
-Always confirm at distance, or the far zero
-Never base your choice of zero on limiting factors, aim to fully exploit the capability of your weapon
It's not about surviving, it's about winning!
