How to Zero your AR15 / M4 / M16A2 Platform: Mechanical Zero & the 25m Target

The Armed Forces do not teach to zero the iron sights with the large peep aperature, don't listen to incorrect information. The Marines, Army manuals say to use small peep for zeroing. Colt manual says the same. Ask anyone who was in the Marines if they shot out to 200, 300 and 500 if they used the large peep. If you want to always use the larger peep you can do that if you wish but you will not be accurate at longer ranges, just use the small peep and keep both eyes open.

Just so you know Steve has now put up an annotation @ the 7 min mark to address the issue you talk about in your vid.

But just to confirm did you say that everything else in his vid is correct?

[semiautoriflelover1]

@jimothy183 yes, I believe everything else he said was right. I just didn't like his attitude problem he had when I made a comment to him, he was attacking me and I was very nice to him and just said he made an error. he came back with all this nonsense about being in Army and they used the large peep, as we know that was wrong.

Wow dude you are a hateful individual and are hell bent on dissproving this guy! You are so worked up you are breathing hard! WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!! And we all know that military manuals are ALWAYS PERFECT. His video was very good with some errors! SO WHAT!!!!

[semiautoriflelover1]

@hlads66 Who Cares? I care, if your life is on the line then you want to zero the correct way. The guy who made the video is always talking about the end of times and combat shooting so he is talking about guys using their rifle for defense. He is full of shit. switching from small to large peep at 100 yards will change impact 4"

im christian and i have to say,that guy is a false teaching christian, a false firearm teacher he is hateful towards people who take the time to watch his horrible videos, he blocks you if you go off topic a little bit or if you try to point out to him when he's wrong, he should take that video down, he is miss leading people, also the big aperture can be used up to 200 meters with a 25-300 M zero, tat's why its marked 0-2, but not for sighting

[hahaland74]

Wow dude. STFU and chill out. Holy fuck

[diosdadoapias]

@semiautoriflelover1 the large peep sight is only use when visibility is not good and the shooting distance is w/in 200 meters/yards or lesser. That is the situation provided by the Colt manual w/c u are going to used the large aperture. But when visibility is good and the distance is close or far, use the small aperture which is for normal shooting.
