One of the harderst concepts to gert across to my junior shooters.
But once it clicks, they understand.

The zero on an EST is in all likelyhood NOT in the center of the black ... but it DOES NOT MATTER.
As noted above - That's what your sights are for ... to adjust your gun to what the target KNOWS is center ... you'll not change it's mind. You have 15 minutes and unlimited shots to do this.

Also know that if you get moved during a match, you MUST insist on having sighting shots ... as related to above, each target has it's own center ... and it is different than the other targets centers. Never bypass taking sighters if moved.
