Frequently Asked Questions

How do I zero my AR-15 at 25 meters using Rite in the Rain targets?

Mount the target, select the correct side for your rifle (M4 or M16), fire a group, and use the printed windage/elevation instructions to adjust your iron sights. For M4s, this zero typically aligns for 300m; M16s may need a minor rear sight adjustment.

What makes Rite in the Rain targets better for zeroing?

Rite in the Rain targets are made of all-weather paper, making them impervious to moisture, sweat, and rain. They maintain rigidity and legibility, unlike standard paper targets that degrade, tear, and lose shape when wet.

Can I use a boresight with the Rite in the Rain 25-meter zeroing target?

Yes, using a boresight is recommended as an initial step. The Rite in the Rain target then helps refine the zero by providing clear visual feedback on bullet impact and explicit instructions for sight adjustments.

What is the effective range achieved by zeroing an M4 at 25 meters with this target?

Zeroing an M4 carbine at 25 meters using the Rite in the Rain target is designed to automatically align the rifle for an effective range of 300 meters, simplifying the zeroing process for common engagement distances.
