This video demonstrates a practical method for zeroing an optic for a carry gun, specifically in the context of competition shooting like USPSA Carry Optics. The instructor explains how to calculate the necessary clicks for adjustment based on distance and the optic's MOA value, aiming for sub-2-inch groupings as acceptable accuracy for a carry firearm.

Quick Summary

For a 1 MOA per click optic, 1 MOA equals approximately 1 inch of movement at 100 yards, and 4 inches at 25 yards. To achieve a 4-inch downward adjustment at 25 yards, 16 clicks down are required. An acceptable accuracy for a carry gun is a grouping of less than two inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate optic adjustments for different distances?

To calculate optic adjustments, understand your optic's MOA (Minute of Angle) per click. At 100 yards, 1 MOA equals 1 inch. At 25 yards, 1 MOA equals 4 inches. Divide the desired adjustment in inches by the MOA value per click, then multiply by the distance factor (100/actual distance) to find the total clicks needed.

What is considered acceptable accuracy for a carry gun?

According to the speaker, an acceptable level of accuracy for a carry gun is a grouping size of less than two inches. This ensures the firearm is capable of precise shots when needed for self-defense or competition.

How many clicks are needed to move 4 inches down at 25 yards with a 1 MOA optic?

With a 1 MOA optic, 1 MOA equals 4 inches of movement at 25 yards. To move 4 inches down, you would need 16 clicks down (4 inches desired movement * 4 clicks per inch).

What is MOA in firearms?

MOA stands for Minute of Angle. It's a unit of angular measurement used for firearm accuracy. One MOA is approximately 1.047 inches at 100 yards, meaning a 1 MOA rifle should be able to keep its shots within a 1-inch circle at that distance.
