I dont have access to a range with meter just yards. 100 to be exact. I want my a3 to be zeroed at 100yards and then be able to use the back dial adjustment to move it up to 200 300 and so forth is this possible? I need a step by step. My back dial doesnt go farther down than the 6/3.

killforfun?  What kind of handle is that?  Do you also have a 50 yard range or just the 100 yard you mentioned?  

If you have the ability to zero at 50 yards you could do the SIBZ .  That would make your elevation dial work.  You'd be pretty close at 100 yards but not dead on.

Here's thelink to the SIBZ.  It also tells you how to make your elevation dial go below 6/3.

The difference between 100yds and 100 meters will be 8.333 yards.  If you could back up that amount, provided it's an outdoor range, that would do it.  Personally I don't think the difference would be very much if you just sighted in at 100 yds.  AS stated above, the 50yd IBZ wouldn't be a bad way to zero.

Man, i zero at 25 Meters. I guess it's a miltary thing. I zero with the small hole from mechanical zero then one click up with the rear sight. That way I know I have a zero good enough for any target from 0- 300 meters.

What I meant to say was what is your mechanical zero. Is that the 6/3 mark or lower.

No, it's not possible to zero the irons to 100. There is a 50Y zero, but not a 100.

Mechanical Zero is the centering of your sights on your rifle without regard to your actual sight-in zero. But, if your asking what I think you are, the 25M zero it the little "Z" just up from the 6/3 mark.
