I'm planning to get out hunting this weekend and want to make sure I'm on target before heading out. I知 looking for a place near Calgary to sight in my rifle, ideally at 100 yards. I知 not currently a member at any ranges, as I致e only recently gotten into hunting after turning 18 a couple of years ago and don't get to go out as much as I wish I could due to school. I知 open to any recommendations, thanks in advance.

drive up the 40 past waiprious away from the trans alta road which has a target shooting ban currently and find a nice backing and have at it.
I did some research and some people online mentioned being able to get a 100 yard zero at a 25 yard range. Just wondering if anyone has done so before and if it's worked for you.

yes you could do it but its important once you have it bang on at 25 you will need to test that out to 100 and beyond.
understand that 1/4 inch out at 25 will be 3-4 inches at 100

Gotcha, would I be able to zero for 100 at 25 yards accounting for this drop off if I we're to consider a ballistic calculator for adjustment? I know I'd be having to aim bull's-eye at 25 but have the impact about an 1 1/2 inches below to make it act as if it's shooting at 100, just not sure if this is the way to go or not, it is for a 300 win mag.

I'll check the maps around there. I know friends of mine that have gone to crown over there but I have typically gone south since living in the SE. Thanks for letting me know!

1/4" sighting error at 25, is 1" sighting error at 100. What adds more error is muzzle velocity error, sighting height error, and B.C. error. The farther the shooting distance, the more those errors add up.
