Actually, I'm shooting my Krag in the Roosevelt Match, my K-31 in Vintage, and my 1903A3 in the Springfield Match . . . So I may have to set the rear sight for a different elevation to be on point at 1000 yards, OR... find my point of aim for 1000 yards and treat it like Kentucky Windage (aim for a point above the bullseye).

I thought the Springfield/Vintage match was a combined event (running on two days). Do they let you register twice (once for each day)?

Anyway, since you'd need to aim some 6-feet high to hit the 1000-yard bull and there ain't nothing up there but sky, eagles, and Lake Erie, you might as well cut another front blade short enough to get you in the center with your preferred hold.

Center hold: +6.5 MOA x .008" = .051" shorter (presuming issue blade prints center at 200 yard setting and range)
6:00 hold: +2.1 MOA for 22" radius of aiming black x .008" = .017": Total .068" shorter
Frame hold: +3.4 MOA for half of 6' frame height x .008 = .027": Total .078" shorter.

You can check the blade at 100 yards by setting the elevation to 800 and looking for a group 39.6" above center bull - or 74.6 at 200 (presuming a MV near 2650 fps and BC near .500. Scrounge a chronograph!). If using a 6:00 hold, use an 8.8" aiming black to emulate the size of the 44" LR target black at 1000 yards.  Leave the blade a bit tall and bring a file to the range for final adjustment. 

Once that short blade is finalized, see where she hits at the 200-yard setting and adjust your hold for the Springfield Match - or bring the original blade, a hammer, and a pin punch to Perry so you can swap out there.

Long Range is a different animal - fun but frustrating!
