Re sighting in, for a few decades the 30-06's I've used have been sighted-in at 200 yards. Seems to have worked out just fine.

I figure I'll just keep it the same. Why mess with success?

I do like that idea of practicing with whatever shooting sticks are used. I've never used shooting sticks from standing, but it seems to be a regular practice in Africa. I like that! Anything to steady the shot.
