Sighting in red dot

[ubet]

This is probably a very amateur question. I have a red dot on my 6920, and was doing some load testing yesterday. When I sighted it in at 100yds I sighted it in so the top of the dot was the aiming point. I just can't seem to get anywhere near precise aiming with the dot in general at 100+. But for anything inside 100, I just use the dot as a whole and know about where to hold with the given distance. Is this wrong, right or indifferent?

Not all red dots are created equal. What brand is yours?

Vortex sparc 2

The cool thing about that is you can use the bottom of the dot for 50 and 200 yards which is perfect since you can see the target better holding over.

And that's sort of what I've been doing

This thread has a lot of great information about zeroing. Have a look...

red dots are not made for 100yd precision shooting, they are made for hitting a man size target close combat fighting but accurate out to 100yds. If you want precision shooting a red dot is the wrong direction to start.

I can hit man size Targets at 400y confirmed w/ T1 & T2... no they are not Precision Optics, but to say they are 100y-and-in is Ludicrous.

I have also shot many Sub-MOA groups with RDS, @ 50 and 100m.

And no that's not bragging, just stating what can be done.

no it isn't ridiculous to say it is a 100yd and in optic because it is. Yes you can hit targets out to 400yds but you won't do it with the first shot or even the first five shots unless you get lucky of course, you will hit a target at 100yds first shot. Beyond 100yds depending the moa of the red dot sight is a judgement shot. I would bet rifle against rifle you cannot hit a 280yd target first shot and I will drive up to Henderson, KY for that bet depending on your equipment if it's worth it or not.
