The Best Zero For Your AR15
This video from Brownells, featuring Caleb, explores the optimal zero distances for an AR-15, primarily for competition use. It analyzes four common zero distances: 25, 36, 50, and 100 yards, detailing their impact zones on an IPSC A-zone target at various ranges. The instructor emphasizes that the 'best' zero is dependent on the intended use of the firearm and the optic employed, recommending the 100-yard zero as a versatile option for experienced shooters, while suggesting 36 or 50 yards for those using red dots or LPVOs respectively, especially for closer engagements.
