Take for example this EBR target

[Michael]

The distance is 75 yards. Let's say you use the bottom 4 targets as "sighters". How much impact change should someone expect from the bottom left sighter to top right target? Would you use holdover or adjust your turrets? 

Weigh in if you've got any input.

Oh man, that's something I would have never considered... that's almost 5' difference between those 2 targets! Eager to see what others have to say!

I'm going to adjust my turrets because I have a small dot in middle of the scope's cross hairs. will make it more precise to shot these little bulleyes

5 feet at 75 yards is about 1deg. (if I did my math right) and my Strelok says no adjustment for holdover.

I have never tried the EBR this is my first time seeing the target, What I would do from looking at the target, and its just me...Now let me ask, is there only one shot per sighter, and can you shoot in any direction that you want? If you can shoot in any direction I would go from bottom to top inline with the sighter row. It would be better to go in a vertical line then a horizontal one i'm thinking.

Maybe something else to consider is at what height are the targets in relation to the firing line? Are the sighters on the bottom at the same level as the bench or are they set up so the middle of the target is at bench height? Not sure if it makes any difference, just throwing it out there, I think the wind, however fickle it might be, would be more of a concern, also if you have faith in your scope's tracking then dialing in a few clicks of elevation if needed is how I would go.
Attending and competing at an EBR is one of the things on my bucket list, lol.

You can shoot the sighters as many times as you want - POI above the line shots are for score. Sighters are for calibrating the POA/POI offset due mainly to wind, and to help interpret your wind flags.

The effect of slightly higher angle for top bulls vs sighters is insignificant. What is significant is change in wind between sighter shots and score shots!

Good deal

I like this idea!
