The question is have any of you tried putting your cross sticks at different heights to see if it changes your group sizes?

You want to set the height so that you are at your natural point of aim for the particular target you are shooting at. Deviating from natural point of aim will cost you far more points than almost anything else you can do.

As gunlaker said; and I would add, the natural point of aim is where you are the most comfortable. Once you find that position, why would you try something else.
So, the answer to your question is No!
Keep on hav'n fun!

If you're in a NPA holding center mass, you should be relaxed and able to close your eyes, take a breath in and out, and then open your eyes and still be holding on center mass. If you have to muscle yourself onto center mass, you are not in a NPA. Your breathing should move the front sight up and down through center mass.
