This video details the instructor's personal zeroing philosophy for rifles and pistols, emphasizing the practical implications of different zero distances. The instructor advocates for a 100-yard zero for rifles, citing its simplicity in managing holdovers and holdunders across various distances, particularly with scoped carbines. For pistols, a 25-yard zero is preferred to mitigate unexpected impacts at distance. The content is geared towards intermediate shooters seeking to optimize their firearms for practical application.

Chris from Regular Guy Training explains his handgun zeroing process, emphasizing starting at 3 yards to establish height over bore and windage before moving to the final zero distance (typically 25 yards). He details how to measure and adjust sights, and the importance of understanding personal shooting tendencies for consistent accuracy.

This guide details how to zero a pistol red dot sight, drawing on the expertise of the Honest Outlaw. It emphasizes establishing a practical zeroing distance, typically 10-25 yards, with a personal preference for 15 yards. The video demonstrates the effectiveness of this zero across various ranges, from close engagements to 85 yards, by successfully hitting steel targets. It also touches on the minimal bore offset for handguns compared to rifles and practical considerations like using steel targets in windy conditions.

This video provides a beginner-friendly guide to zeroing an AR-15 rifle, explaining the importance of a zero and demonstrating the process at 25 yards. It covers common zero distances, stable shooting techniques in the prone position, and how to make optic adjustments based on group analysis. The instructor emphasizes understanding ballistic trajectory and practicing at various ranges to master holdovers and holdunders.
