Frequently Asked Questions

What is the two-shot rifle zeroing method?

The two-shot zero method involves firing one shot at your target, then adjusting your scope's turrets to align the crosshairs directly over the bullet hole. A second shot confirms the zero.

How do you adjust a rifle scope for zeroing?

After your first shot, keep the rifle steady. Have a partner adjust the scope's windage and elevation turrets until the crosshairs are moved to cover the bullet hole on the target.

Why is keeping the rifle still important when zeroing?

Keeping the rifle perfectly still after the first shot is critical. This ensures that when you adjust the scope, you are aligning the reticle to the actual point of impact, not compensating for rifle movement.

What is the purpose of the second shot in this method?

The second shot serves as confirmation. If the scope adjustments were made correctly based on the first shot's impact, the second shot fired at the bullseye should land precisely where you are aiming.
