The iterative procedure involves firing a group of shots from a cool gun barrel, then determining the geometric center of the shot pattern, adjusting the sights to move the point of aim to that group center, and repeating the process until further groups consistently center on the point of aim.
Assume a rifle is being fired that shoots with the bullet drop table given in Table 1. This means that the rifle sight setting for any range from 0 to 500 meters is available. The sight adjustment procedure can be followed step-by-step. 1. Determine the slant range to the target.
