Default scope help.

My muzzleloader is shooting 6 inches high at 75 yards.It is now to dark to shoot. Just so I can get a jumpstart tomorrow does anyone know how many clicks I need to turn to get it down to dead on. 1 click at 100 yards = 1/4"

This is an archery forum. You should post this on a gun forum.

1 click at 100 yards for 1/4 inch = 4 clicks to the inch
1 click at 50 yards is 1/8 inch = 8 clicks to the inch

So that gives us 6 clicks to the inch at 75 yards.

That's a lot of clicking you've got to do. You're scope may need to be shimmed or you need to check that your mounts or ringsaren't installed backwards (front reversed with back).

I'm not upset, it's just better to post it in the proper forum because you get more and quicker responses that are probably more reliable. You were lucky that Kodiak knew what he was talking about, because I sure as heck did not. I have never shot a muzzleloader. Good luck tuning.
