For a hunter, the maximum point blank range method makes very good sense. I say this even though I don't use a "strict" maximum point blank range method. What I use is somewhat of a variation of that method. For coyotes I zero about 1&1/2" high at 100 yards. Now I know that if a coyote is within 250 yards or so, I can hold dead on. If he looks like he is 300 yards or a bit further, I hold high on his back. I feel that my 85 grain ballistic silver tips zipping out of the muzzle at a bit over 3600 fps has fairly flat trajectory. For me to NOT take advantage of zero that allows me to hold dead on for longest range possible would be foolish.
