If the far aiming post is placed at 100 meters, the near post would be placed ______ meters from the pantel.

If the far aiming post is placed at 100 meters, the near post would be placed ______ meters from the pantel.

• A. 50 meters
• B. 100 meters
• C. 25 meters
• D. 75 meters

Answer: (A)

In this setup, distances to the pantel are used to create a consistent reference for aiming. The far aiming post is placed at 100 meters from the pantel, so the near post is positioned at the midpoint to keep the spacing proportional. Half of 100 meters is 50 meters, so the near post should be 50 meters from the pantel. This provides a clear, symmetric reference for sighting and range understanding. Choosing 100 meters would collapse the near and far references into the same point, removing the intended two-post setup. Placing it at 25 or 75 meters would disrupt the standard spacing and calibration the system relies on.
