It wasnt necessary for this test, but out of habit, anytime I set up for precise target work, usually group shooting, I will purposely adjust my scope to hit right of the POA so i dont destroy my aiming point. Precise groups rely solely on a precise aim, and you cant hold the crosshairs in exactly the same spot from shot to shot if you shoot a ragged hole in your aiming point on the target. Its all my way of eliminating the guesswork.
