Reassuring scope zero

[rickhem]

Nice shooting, and I like your home range. Nice to be able to go shoot a little or a lot without any driving.
I can shoot on my property too, and this time of year I keep a target frame at 100 yards, and one at 50. I do all my hunting in the woods, so 100 is unlikely, but it's a good point of reference for the bolt guns.
Every couple days leading up to rifle season, I will go take a single shot with my .308, then one with the 6mmARC, and then one at 50 yards with the Henry .357. I leave the targets up, so these are all done on top of each other, and I can see a group of cold bore shots. After a few times doing this, it gives a lot of confidence that my first shot from the rifle will go where I expect it to go.
