This video by John "Shrek" McPhee from Sheriff of Baghdad demonstrates simple vision tricks to improve shooting precision and consistency. It focuses on identifying and utilizing your dominant eye for sight alignment, emphasizing the importance of turning your head to ensure your dominant eye is properly aligned with the sights and the target, preventing interference from the non-dominant eye.

This guide details the process of zeroing a red dot optic (RDO) on a pistol, emphasizing a stable shooting platform and systematic adjustments. It covers setting optic brightness, firing initial groups, analyzing impact centers, calculating click adjustments based on MOA, and confirming zero. The instruction is provided by Mike from 6Hour Academy, offering practical advice for achieving accurate sight alignment.

This guide explains how to use a bore sight, specifically the Tactical Elitees model, to pre-align firearm sights before live fire. It highlights five key benefits: avoiding confusion with reverse red dot adjustments, saving time at public ranges, enabling more effective home-based training, reducing ammunition expenditure for zeroing, and allowing saved ammunition to be used for practice. The bore sight is presented as a valuable tool for efficient and cost-effective firearm sight-in procedures.

This video details a practical process for zeroing handgun red dot sights, emphasizing a phased approach. Instructor Joel Park advocates starting at close range (7-10 yards) to perfect windage, then moving to 20-25 yards to fine-tune elevation. He also stresses the importance of witness marking optic screws to ensure zero retention and suggests that zeroing should be achievable within 10-20 rounds.

This video provides a quick tip for zeroing a red dot optic on a concealed carry handgun, specifically the P365X Macro Comp. Instructor Jude from Brownells demonstrates a hasty zeroing technique starting by aligning the optic with iron sights, then firing groups at 15 yards and making incremental adjustments to elevation and windage until the point of impact matches the point of aim. The method emphasizes getting on paper quickly and fine-tuning for effective concealed carry distances.

This video provides an unboxing and overview of the CV Life Bore Sight Kit. It highlights the kit's convenience for quickly zeroing optics and sights without expending ammunition. The presenter emphasizes the green laser's brightness, USB rechargeability, and the kit's durable construction, making it a practical tool for firearm owners.

This video critically analyzes the GBRS Group's promotion of 'natural point of aim' without proper sighting systems, deeming it negligent. It provides a clear, expert-level definition of natural point of aim (NPOA) as the gun target line, achieved by closing one's eyes in a firing position and observing where the sights naturally settle. The instructor emphasizes that NPOA is not 'index firing' without optics or irons, and warns against consuming GBRS Group content for training advice due to safety concerns.

This guide details the installation and zeroing process for a Crimson Trace Laserguard, emphasizing its 'Instinctive Activation' feature. It highlights the importance of zeroing at a distance to ensure accuracy and covers the adjustment process for windage and elevation. The video demonstrates how the laser integrates with standard firearm grips for immediate use in self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates a quick firearm zeroing method without live fire, utilizing a vice and reference dots. It covers bore alignment to establish the initial sight-over-bore offset and then adjusting the red dot sight to match an upper reference point. This technique allows for a preliminary zero, significantly reducing the need for initial shots on target.

Richard, USCCA Training Manager and Certified Instructor, explains cross-eye dominance, where your dominant eye is on the opposite side of your dominant shooting hand. He provides a simple test to identify it and outlines training methods, including switching shooting hands (especially for long guns) or adjusting head and firearm position to achieve proper sight alignment. The video emphasizes experimenting to find what works best for individual shooters.

This video captures a sighting of a firearm in Midtown, NYC on Wednesday, July 26th. The title expresses hope for everyone's safety. Due to the lack of a transcript and only a brief description, specific details about the firearm, its purpose, or the context of the sighting are unavailable. The content appears to be an observation rather than a review, demonstration, or discussion.

This video discusses the practice of tapping a rifle scope after making adjustments. While historically done to ensure reticle movement, modern high-quality optics generally do not require this. A technique to overcome potential reticle lag is to dial past the desired adjustment and then return to it.
