Duration: 8:48

This video revisits the Jerking the Trigger (JTT) 10-yard zero method for AR-15 rifles. It demonstrates how to use a specific target at 10 yards to achieve a 50/200 yard zero, emphasizing the importance of supported shooting positions for accuracy. The test confirms the 10-yard zero is a reliable starting point, though final confirmation at distance is crucial.

Quick Summary

The JTT 10-yard zero method uses a specific target at 10 yards to establish a 50/200 yard zero by aligning point of aim and impact. Use a supported position for accuracy, bisect the circle with iron sights, and confirm at 50 and 200 yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the JTT 10-yard zero method?

The JTT 10-yard zero method, developed by Jerking the Trigger, uses a specific target at 10 yards. The goal is to achieve a 50/200 yard zero by aligning your point of aim and impact at this close distance, leveraging the bullet's ballistic trajectory.

Why is a supported shooting position important for zeroing?

A supported shooting position, like using sandbags or a bipod, is crucial for zeroing because it minimizes human error. This stability ensures that shot placement is consistent, allowing you to accurately adjust your sights rather than compensating for shooter wobble.

How do you aim on a JTT 10-yard zero target with iron sights?

When using iron sights on the JTT 10-yard zero target, you should bisect the central circle with your front sight post. This specific aiming point, combined with the correct impact location, helps establish the desired ballistic zero for longer distances.

Is confirming a 10-yard zero at longer distances necessary?

Yes, confirming your 10-yard zero at longer distances like 50 and 200 yards is highly recommended. While the 10-yard zero is an excellent starting point, real-world testing at distance accounts for minor deviations and ensures your rifle is truly sighted-in.
