This guide explains how to properly use a laser bore sighter, specifically the Tactical Elite Sight 2.0, to achieve a preliminary zero for red dot optics. Key to its effectiveness is correctly fitting the adapter to the bore, avoiding both looseness and overtightening. Once properly seated, the bore sighter projects a laser dot representing the bore's line of aim, allowing for quick alignment of the optic's reticle.
This live Q&A session covers a wide range of firearms and gear topics.

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 documents the Tactical Hyve team's participation in the USPSA Area 5 Championship. It highlights their pre-match preparation, including stage walking and equipment checks, and offers insights into managing performance anxiety. The footage captures various stages of the competition, showcasing shooter performance, challenges like terrain and weather, and post-match debriefs detailing successes and failures, including equipment malfunctions and shooting technique issues.
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.
This episode of The QA from UN12 Magazine features Dave Tim answering viewer questions on various firearms topics. Key discussions include zeroing 45-degree offset red dots and iron sights, the manufacturing differences between budget and high-end AR-15 upper and lower receivers, and tips for building and maintaining AR-15 platforms. The episode also touches on firearm instruction best practices, M-LOK fastener preferences, and recommendations for long-range bolt-action rifle optics and calibers.
The video discusses various methods for zeroing AR-15 platforms, with a strong emphasis on the 25-meter zero as a standard practice for achieving a Ballistic Zero (BZO) out to 300 yards. It acknowledges that other methods like 50-meter or 100-yard zeros exist and may be preferred based on specific mission requirements or shooter preference, but reiterates the effectiveness and training behind the 25-meter zero for general use.
This video from Modern Samurai Project details the philosophy and application of their custom targets for firearm training. Lead instructor emphasizes the importance of target design in achieving specific training goals, from zeroing red dot sights to practicing fast draws and hyper-accuracy drills. The targets are designed to provide clear feedback on grip, trigger control, and sight alignment, with specific zones and dimensions catering to various skill levels and shooting scenarios.
This guide details a simplified method for zeroing any firearm optic using only two shots. It emphasizes the critical need for a stable shooting platform and assumes the shooter can hit the target with the first shot. The technique involves aligning the reticle to the point of aim, firing one shot, observing the point of impact, firing a second shot to confirm the group, and then adjusting the optic's reticle to meet the point of impact before returning it to the original point of aim.
