Not POI (Point of Impact), I stated POA (Point of Aim).My experience dealing with mirage has been different. Mirage doesn't affect POI, it effects my ability to see a stationary target. (POA) Once the mirage gets to the point where the bullseye appears to be dancing all over the backboard, I turn the magnification down. Reducing the magnification minimizes the amount that the bullseye appears to be moving.
I've had very good results with reducing the magnification and maintaining a better hold when the mirage makes life difficult. Mirage is one of the reasons that I shoot at 8am, which is when our firing line opens. Even on a hot day, we'll get a few hours to shoot before the mirage is problematic.
You are correct that mirage does not affect POI. but it absolutely can affect POA.
