Interactive FAQ

What is the optimal sight height for 30 yards?

The optimal sight height varies based on your bullet weight and muzzle velocity. Use this calculator to find your ideal sight height.

How does temperature affect sight height?

Temperature affects bullet velocity, which in turn affects sight height. Warmer temperatures generally result in higher muzzle velocities and thus lower sight heights.
