Videos tagged with 36-Yard Zero

This video reveals 7 advanced shooting secrets for American shooters, emphasizing skill over gear. Expert instruction covers the 36-yard zero for carbines, leading with eyes for target transitions, mastering holster grip, finding Natural Point of Aim, trapping the trigger for faster follow-ups, the 70/30 grip pressure rule, and adopting the Cooper Color Code for optimal mindset. Mastering these techniques significantly elevates shooting proficiency.

This guide details a practical rifle zeroing technique for tactical applications, as explained by Brad Geary. It focuses on achieving a 36-yard zero, which provides a reliable center-mass hit within a 5-7 inch drift, prioritizing combat effectiveness over extreme precision. This method is crucial for assaulters operating in high-stress environments where hitting vital areas quickly is paramount.

This guide details the technique for establishing a 36-yard zero on an AR-15, as demonstrated by experts from Brownells. This zero is favored for its ability to keep bullet impacts tightly stacked from 25 to 250 yards, making it ideal for competition and unknown distance shooting. The process involves bore sighting, firing initial groups, calculating necessary scope adjustments using MOA conversions, and refining the zero for optimal accuracy.

This video demonstrates the zeroing process for the DNT Optics Zulus 5-20 digital night vision scope using a DA Targets color-changing target. The instructor walks through a one-shot zero method, adjusting the reticle via the scope's interface to match the bullet's impact point. The demonstration highlights the effectiveness of the color-changing target for quick impact identification and the ease of the Zulus' zeroing features.

This video demonstrates the process of zeroing an AR-15 rifle equipped with an EOTech red dot sight at a distance of 36 yards. The instructor emphasizes this zero for its effectiveness out to 300-400 yards, allowing for center mass holds without complex calculations. The process involves firing groups, making adjustments with a coin on the EOTech, and confirming the zero with subsequent shots, while also testing new defensive ammunition.

This video explains the rationale behind a 36-yard zero for AR-15 type rifles, demonstrating its effectiveness for achieving combat accuracy out to approximately 300 yards with standard 5.56mm ammunition. The instructor highlights that this zero method simplifies aiming by keeping the bullet's trajectory within a manageable range of the line of sight, allowing for center-of-mass holds at various distances. The demonstration uses a CMMG Mk V rifle with a HoloSun optic and PMC Bronze 55-grain plinking ammunition.

This video provides a complete process for zeroing and 'doping' any rifle, focusing on gathering ballistic data quickly without a chronograph. The instructor details a method applicable to both gas-operated firearms like the AR-15 and bolt-action rifles. A key technique discussed is the usefulness of a 36-yard zero for AR-15 platforms, enabling accurate point of aim/point of impact out to approximately 300 yards. This approach is presented as a reliable solution for shooters who lack access to chronographs.

This guide details how to zero firearm optics, emphasizing that the ideal zero depends on the rifle's purpose and engagement distances. It covers common zeroing distances, the physics of bullet trajectory relative to the optic, and considerations for magnified optics with BDC reticles. Instruction from a firearms expert highlights the importance of understanding height over bore and choosing a zero that provides a practical point of impact for intended use.

This video demonstrates the effectiveness of a 36-yard zero for an LPVO on a Daniel Defense MK18. The instructor highlights how this zero keeps shots within center mass from 36 yards out to 300 yards, with significant drop occurring around 400 yards. The content emphasizes practical application and understanding ballistic trajectories for short-barreled rifles.

This guide details the 36-yard zero technique for an LPVO on a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 rifle, as demonstrated by Trey Sprinkle and Mike from Aeolus Defense. This method, popularized by Shawn Ryan, aims for consistent point-of-aim/point-of-impact from 0 to 300 yards with 5.56x45mm 62-grain ammunition. The video provides specific impact data at 50, 100, 200, and 300 yards, highlighting its effectiveness for 'point and shoot' scenarios up to 300 yards, while noting limitations at 400 yards.

This video explains the "36 Yard Zero" method, a technique from the Marine Corps for setting a rifle's zero. The method aims to establish a maximum effective range zero, with the video also posing a question to viewers about their preferred zeroing methods. A link to an article about "battlefield zero" is provided for further information on the methodology.

This live Q&A session from RTT: Guns & Gear covers various firearm-related topics. The host discusses building an AR pistol with a Bear Creek Arsenal upper chambered in 6.5 Grendel, highlighting its value and performance. He also details his preferred 36-yard zero for carbines and explains the features of a budget-friendly Crimson Trace tactical light. The conversation touches on the failure of a polymer lower receiver, the benefits of aluminum lowers, and recommendations for carry ammunition.
