I suppose there are only so many calibers one can come up with.

I don't profess to know everything, and I believe I'm about to show a bit of my ignorance. You would think I would know this by heart but I don't.

Talking specifically about the AR15, I'm aware that sighting in at one distance (say 50 yards) have an affect on where your rounds land when shooting at different distances.

I found a chart online, and as clear and easy to digest as it is (sarcasm), I think it's missing a crucial detail.

On each of the targets shown there are different colored dots standing for different distances.

I have my Windham Weaponry 20" AR15A4 sighed in at 25 yards. So, therefor, is this chart telling me where my rounds will land on a target at a given distance if I aim for the center OR is it telling me where to aim on the target when I'm X distance away to hit the center?

IE, If i'm shooting at 200 yards (green dot - @ 25 yard zero), does the green dot show me where my rounds will land on the target if I aim for the center, or it telling me where to put the front sight post in order to hit the center?

I really hope that question makes sense, because that's the best way I could figure out how to word it. Really, this whole thing talks a lot but actually tells you (or me at least) very little. Don't even get me started on MOA....
