I've been running my EXBAL for a couple of years now and I think I may have figured something out and wanted to run it past those with lots of EXBAL expereince.
On Monday, I got a good 100 yd zero and entered in all the data into EXBAL and saved it under "Save sight in conditions".
Yesterday, I was shooting a tactical match a solid 1400 ft higher in elevation. When I got to the range, I checked my 100 zero and not thinking moved my zero up .5 MOA. During the match I used current weather data. We had a paper Osama BinLaden target @ 600 yds and my 3.5", 5-shot group was 3.8" high. I can't account for the .8" but I think the 3" high wouldn't have happened it I'd left my zero alone. Do you agree I should just have shot the match using the previous zero and left well enough alone or did I do the correct thing by adjusting my zero to the higher alt and lower Baro?
