The instructor emphasizes the importance of barrel break-in, consistent muzzle velocity, and understanding environmental factors for accurate long-range shots.

This episode delves into the historical evolution of firearms optics and concealed carry pistols. It highlights the development of telescopic sights from early American riflemen to modern target scopes, emphasizing the functionality of adjustable turrets and the 'slipping' technique for repeatable zeroing. The segment also traces the lineage of compact pistols, from 18th-century flintlocks to 19th-century Derringers and early 20th-century revolvers like the Smith & Wesson Lady Smith, illustrating the long history of personal defense firearms.

This guide details the process of zeroing a rifle and calibrating its scope turrets for long-range accuracy, as demonstrated by Mike Davidson, Director at Gunwerks LLC. It covers turret swapping, initial zeroing at 500 yards, making MOA corrections, resetting the turret to the physical zero, and verifying trajectory at extended ranges like 710 yards. The instruction emphasizes precise adjustments for consistent performance in the field.
