Easier to find a place to confirm zero in the field at 100 yards.
Just spin your dial to 200 dope when hunting, presto - same thing.
Ah. Makes sense, but I don't shoot at ranges anymore, so I don't worry about that, and I'd feel retarded dialing for a 200 yd shot. I'll stick with my 200 yd zero.
I think you missed the point.
Field confirmation (not shooting range) is just a little more convenient. Like say your rifle takes a tumble and you whacked the scope hard on a rock.
Just set it at 0.5 mil/1.5 MOA, or whatever fits your needs so you can shoot as far as makes sense to you without dialing, and leave it there. All the time. Unless you need to dial for a shot farther then your “field zero”. Field zero can be 200, 250, whatever makes sense for your load/conditions.
The bigger point is don’t be messing with dials when you should be shooting game. Dialing up from a 100 zero for a 200 yard shot when an elk is standing there is just silly.
