Metal god - I chose the 1.5 high at 100 yards for a reason. At that trajectory, the highest part of the trajectory is 1.9" at 63-86 yard range. The drop for 1.9" is at 147 yards. So I can shoot at a deer out to 147 yards, aim at the center of the vitals, and hit a 4" circle.

If I sight it in at 100 yards, the highest part of the trajectory is only .9" from 55-71 yards but the same 1.9" low is at 127 yards. I want to aim at the center of the target.

All around - as I read the posts it seemed to me that the answers were going in different directions - maybe it's just me.
