RE: Baffled
You can also check to see if it's your sight by holding a smaller carpenters square against the sight while moving your pin up and down. If you notice your pin moves in or out when you get at your 30 yd mark , you've found the problem. When you say , your pin is straight , do you mean the pin itself? The test I do with the square is geared at finding a bend or flaw in the slide/bracket.
BTW , when are you headin up to Wisconsin?

RE: Baffled
Everyone has hit on anything I can think of, except possibly this....not knowing what your range is like, this is just a guess. Is the lighting at your 30 yd. target way different? Or, if you have one target and you move up and back for the different distances, is the lighting different where your 30 yd. mark is? I have noticed myself having slight left/right differences sometimes when going immediately from one extreme to another as far as lighting goes.
This is a good one, let us know what you come up with!

You have mail
Big Country
Its an outdoor range.
Ok I went and tried a few things yesterday afternoon moved the rest pulled the sight apart lowered poundage put poundage back up.
Now I dont know what I done but now I have even spacing from left to right ie 1"right at 30 2"right at 40 3"right at 50.
I am going back this afternoon and resight in at 30 (thanks Matt) and see if that will bring in the others without pushing the 20 too far left.
Oh I just love this fooling around with the opener in a couple of weeks<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Baffled
Ausie-guy, I thought you were probably shooting outside, since most places don`t have 50yd. indoor ranges. I thought maybe there was a big shade tree near your 30 yd. shooting station.
Now that you are shooting consistantly right, further right at further distance, it is much more likely that your rest is out of centershot. I bet if you move your rest ever so slightly left, you will see your impact shift back towards the bull.
Good Luck!
