  • At what range are you sighting in?

  • @sbgotb67 This particular zero target is for 25 meters. It is a simulated 300 meter target. The principle is the same no matter the distance. Just follow the adjustments recommendations for the rifle or target you are using.

  • This helped me a lot, thanks man!

  • @SecularTechnology No Problem. Enjoy.

  • Worthwhile video! Thanks!

  • Thanks, helped a lot! I have an Airsoft M4, but the idea is all the same :D

  • @amngilbert So then ok lets say it's a 20 inch barrel fireing 55grain .223 at around 3260 fps and it's 0-300 yards that im fireing will point of aim and point of impact change is all I want to know and by how much, just give me a ball park estimate so I can at least get bullet on paper to figure the rest out.

  • @amngilbert ... since you will be using a bullet drop compensator. The whole point in a bullet drop compensator is that you don't have to guess where to aim to have a poi center mass. The best thing you can do is to assume a stable position. I would recommend using a strap to stable the weapon in kneeling /standing positions. If you are able to, go prone. If you are not, the next best thing to do is to use something to rest the gun on (a tree, a car, whatever, just don't touch the barrel itself)

  • @GUNS4MIKE1234 The poi is dependent on a number of factors. These include the quality of the weapon you are firing, the quality and consistency of the loads you use, and also a great deal on the shooting position you take. The most stable postion to zero from (other than maybe using a table/gun rest) is the prone postion with a bipod or some other rest (don't touch the barrel). After zeroing, with all other things equal it depends on how steady you are. Point of aim should remain the same...

  • anyone know how your poi is affected from changeing your stance like if you zero prone how much do you have to componsate for when you stand?
