I'm new to rifle sighting, and I'm not understanding that at all. If you sight in at 200, how is 50 going to be right on? I thought if you sighted in at 200, 200 would be right on, and closer would be lower, further be higher?

Think in terms of a long curve. At 50 and 200 yards, the bullet's trajectory are crossing the straight line of sight (rising at 50 and falling at 200). Closer than 50 or further than 200 the bullet will be below line of sight. Between 50 and 200, the bullet is above line of sight.
