We routinely offset the 'center' of our club e-targets by 900mm in the vertical axis, or roughly 1.5 moa @ 600yds. At most halfway serious mid-range F-class matches, the X/10 ring would be a ragged hole with no center left to aim at within one relay, maybe two max (if it's windy). At 300yds, for sure.
The whole point of e-targets is get people out of the pits down range, so there's literally no one down there to re-face the targets between relays. We often go an entire season without putting new centers on the targets - no one cares about that gaping hole up in the 8 ring
There's matches with two 'convertible' sighters, two non-convertible sighters, and matches with 'unlimited' sighters (sadly, more common than they should be in my opinion).
Some people use them to foul the barrel, some use them to adjust their dope for a new (to them) range, but ideally the best use (assuming you've shot enough that you have notes on the first two) is to explore the wind conditions ie if it looks like 'this', and I dial/hold like 'that'... how far does it *actually* move the bullet. Different ranges have different flags, differe6 mirage, and different terrain in between the firing line and the target, all of which make the wind effects slightly different for otherwise apparently similar conditions.
