Sight In Your Rifle in Two Shots - NSSF Shooting Sportscast

NSSF's Doug Painter demonstrates a quick and easy way to sight in your rifle in two shots. *Some shooters may prefer to use a three-shot group instead of just one shot. But, if you are confident in your ability to shoot consistently and in the accuracy of your rifle - two shots is all it takes. For the three-shot group method move the retical to the center of your group. (NSSF Video)

hmmm, nice for a scope. But some of us don't use a scope for anything closer than 500m. I have my ancient Glennfield Mod 30 zero'd for 300 on the iron sights alone...the scope doesn't make for a better or tighter group at that range.

[TheNSSF]

@GrigoriZhukov It would work the same for iron sights. Shoot your shot or group with your sights aligned with the bull's-eye, then determine where you hit or find the center of the group. Then reestablish your sight picture with your rifle aligned with the bull's-eye, then with your rifle locked in place, adjust your sights so they align with where the bullet/group hit the target.

@TheNSSF How far was this target? 100 yards?

Thanks for your video!

[TheNSSF]

@survivalist68 The target was at 50 yards when we shot this video. Starting at 50 or even 25 yards gaurantees that you'll hit the paper and be able to make the corrections needed to get your gun very close. After that you can fine tune your zero at whatever distance you choose.

@leloodallasmultipass Funny comment Mr. Winchester!

[2253glen]

Great! I love this method and it really blows people away after they just shot 40 bucks of ammo and still could not do what you do in 2 shots!

[thedorkfinder]

WOW!!!!! THANKS A MILLION. SO EASY .

[DystruktoBoi1]

Will this work on red dot scopes?

[goldcoastshooter]

Yep, only way to sight in. I've been doing for years and even taught my Dad how to do it after he initially showed me 'the other way'. When you're out hunting, it's the only way!

[1stPal]

What rifle did you use in this demonstration Sir ?

[xDRlVERx]

I usually spend like 30 minutes zeroing in my scopes, going through way too many rounds getting it perfect. This method is crazy good!

[ChristianArmorOfGod]

YOU always shoot a group to zero - Period.

You should have no reason to go beyond 10 rounds.

That is unless there's USER error, or a mechanical problem with some of the gear that you're using.

Also, with my battle rifle - It's always zeroed - dropp the thing, taker her apart - doesn't matter - she's on the cross

@Fire23eater

You might wanna look at the young inner city gang members who run around doing drugs and robbing/killing innocent people with illegally obtained handguns instead.

I don't think older rural/suburban people who shoot for fun and sport cause any real trouble. Believe what you want, though.

[Fire23eater]

Old limped dick loonies like these running around with sniper rifles is the reason why america is the gun violence shithole that it is today.

@Soldier4USA2005 Well, the video is called "Sight in your rifle in two shots." He also did it in about 2 minutes. It's not called "How you accurately fire a rifle and adjust for sight alignment errors" which is the subject of books and piles of videos and supports an entire industry of firearms instruction. But, you're right. There are more variables. So, please help us out and put something out there that covers all the fundamentals.

[fencr]

@TheShortrecords Yes, but it doesn't work on spelling.
