Frequently Asked Questions

How do you safely use a laser bore sighter?

Always ensure the firearm is completely unloaded and cleared before inserting the laser bore sighter into the chamber. This is a critical safety step to prevent accidental discharge during the zeroing process. Always double-check firearm status.

What is the recommended distance for using a laser bore sighter?

For pistols, a distance of 25 yards is recommended for using a laser bore sighter. Shorter distances like 10 or 15 yards can also be used, but 25 yards provides a more precise initial zero before heading to the range.

How do you align your optic with a laser bore sighter?

After placing the laser in the chamber, turn your optic's brightness to the lowest visible setting. Then, adjust the optic's windage and elevation turrets until the reticle (dot) is perfectly centered on the laser point projected onto your target.

What is MOA in relation to zeroing targets?

MOA (Minute of Angle) on a zeroing target helps you understand how many clicks of your optic's adjustment knobs correspond to a specific adjustment at a given distance. For example, the video mentions 1 MOA adjustment might be 2 clicks at 10 yards but 1 click at 25 yards.
