This is probable going to sound like a dumb question to most of you, but here goes. I was at the range today shooting with a buddy of mine and we got into a discussion of the proper way to shoot using a scope. We both have a vortex 4 x 12 on our rifles and at 100 yards I shoot with it set on 4x, my friend is shooting his rifle with the scope set on 12x. I was never/have never been taught how to shoot, just kind of self taught myself and do not really know what is correct. My feeling is that if I shoot at the lowest power then I can be more accurate, he feels the opposite. I was always under the impression that when you shoot at the highest power at 100 yards since the cross-hairs are larger then you have a larger chance for error since the slightest movement will have a greater effect on point of air, is that correct. I am simply trying to improve my shooting any way I can, to me knowledge is our greatest attribute for improvement.
Thanks
