If you zeroed at 25 yards with a 223/5.56mm you now have an identical POI/POA at 250 yards. That simply means the bullet passes upward to the POI/POA first at 25 yards then descends to the POI/POA again at 250 yards. For 308/7.62 the POA/POI will be identical at 40 yards and 600 yards. I hope this helps. Know the 2 ranges for POI/POA speeds up your zero and helps you know your holds. That simply means that after the first POA/POI but before the final POA/POI you will hold just a little low. After the last or second POA/POI you will need to hold high.
Thank you for posting this; I'm kinda new to the whole "gun" thing. I've been trying to sight in a 6.5CM rifle and a 5.56 rifle, not having a lot of success, but now I see what I've been doing wrong.
I've used a ahooting sled. Shoot a 3 round group. Then aim the optic at your original target. While holding the gun atill at the target on the sled, move the dot or crosshairs to where the group is. The gun would now be point of aim/point of impact. Shoot another group to confirm and more groups to refine of desired.
If you asked me how to sight in a rifle the best way I would tell you to hand it to my dad. As a kid every rifle we owned had been sighted in by hand, no sled no sandbag, by my dad and you could shoot twigs in half with them it always blew my mind. It was like he did some magic on them that made them hit right where you were aiming every time.
Good stuff. I would've liked to have seen you stress the fact that you want to zero with the ammo that you plan to use regularly. You may have mentioned it but I missed it.
I actually just zeroed my rifle recently. Just a reminder, no zero is better than the other. They all have different purposes. The zero distance is simply where your line of sight and bullet intersect. Decide if you want something to be more of a put your dot at center mass and shoot (36yd zero) or something where you can be more accurate and know your holds (100yd). You could theoretical zero your rifle for almost any range within reason and you just gotta know how the line of sight and bullet trajectory interact.
I agree. I don’t worry about a few inches. If you get shot and the round goes 3” low, it’s still going to jack them up big time. People overthink it. As you said, each caliber has the “within reason” based on the caliber and ballistics. 🙏

Hey brother thanks for the video! Quick question as a 68yo who wears glasses I shoot twice a month live fire and probably 20 times a month dry fire. You switched glasses to your shooting glasses, did you go to a particular optometrist that understands shooting? Because I’ve not found one in Houston that can help me. The last one I think was 12yo, they seem to get younger the older I get. Just curious what you thought. I know this is not the purpose of your video and I apologize! Have a blessed day!
No. I use readers and Fort Knight Optics. Just shooting glasses. I can’t see inside my hands well, but beyond that it’s fine. Most scopes have a focus/di optic adjustment on the back lens as well as a parallax adjustment on the left side of the scope. Between those two you should be able to fine tune it to see through the scope. I can’t see to adjust my MOA/MIL so I have to go by the feel, pull back far enough to see, or use my readers 😂
Question on getting suppressor? As retired law enforcement I’m skeptical of signing my fourth amendment away along with the fact this is government gun registration. Thoughts?
I do my best to be biblical. I have registered suppressors and rifles. The ATF have no desire to mess with you. That’s my experience. Unless you do something illegal.
@@cameron3525I agree but God established government and what we are dealing with is an ungodly nation therefore God will allow government to do whatever needed to establish rule. Just like in the Bible. Ungodly is ungodly. God doesn’t care about this nation over our salvation. It’s just how life works. You will Never be free. You follow the world or you follow Jesus. You are either on Gods side or the enemies side. It’s a deeper topic that just that but it’s the reality we live in.
Romans 13 is dealing with the Roman government, not our Constitutional Republic, but there are some good lessons to take from it. With that said, I am not concerned with being on their radar by having NFA items. Just be wise and don't do stupid things and you should be okay.🤗
Just wanted to ask your thoughts on wearing clothing that advertises firearm industry brands? Personally I don't because it feels like it advertises the fact that I'm likely carrying and I prefer discretion when it comes to that, but just wanted to see what you thought?
As long as it’s not touching the barrel it’s fine. It has no bearing on the harmonics of the barrel itself. The further out and wider the base, the better as far as stability. But that’s not as tactically based. More of an extreme distance shooter setup.
Zeroing a 20” barrel at 36 yards of 5.56 with a 1/8 twist vs 16”? Does it matter with additional barrel length? Using 55 grain and only 77 grain for longer shots?
@@Doodlefisher well with the longer 20” barrel the velocity will be higher than the 16” counterpart with the same exact ammo. Every inch will yield about 50fps, so there will be some difference between the two. It’s probably not much, and won’t be as noticeable at close range. It does make a difference and I notice a difference between my 18” Wilson Combat 6mm ARC and my Ballistic Advantage 20” 6ARC with the same ammo at the same distance. The further I shoot, the more noticeable it becomes. 🍻
@@luckymanham302 thanks! Zeroing the red dot as opposed to a scope or LpVo would be the game changer then. Long distance is the Idea for adjusting the reticle for trajectories sake
@@Doodlefisher same exact way of zeroing each though. You can find red dot/ holographic optics that have BDC for a few different ranges (100,300,500 for example). Burris and Sig make them just to name a few
Your skipping the most Important part you blow right through ;; in which way you turn the dials to get up are down and left are right. forward are backward . Please slow down and show it slowly in which way you click so we can tell what it is doing THANK YOU..
I have a 10.5 .556 and still am having a bit of confusion with what range to sight it in at. Ive been told so many different ranges but i learned from this video the bullet actually travels upwards at an angle, so any help with what yardage to dial it in would be greatly appreciated.
@@frogmantactical more cqb I'm thinking so ill go with the 50 yrd dial in. At 50 then if I need to shoot say to 100 yrds or more is it still where I put the sight is where I hit or I would need to elevate after a certain range? Thx for the input.

Funny this video popped up, cause I just finished sighting in a friend's M&P 15-22 Sport for 100 yards, with the exact same procedure shown here.
Pastor Frogman, will there be a Sunday sermon tomorrow?

5.56 1" low sight in at 25 gives you a 50/200 zero. 4" high at 100.
Depends on round but it’ll get you on at 100 to fine tune. 🙏

Does water wear a badge 🤔
Easy peasy!
Thanks..😊
What rest bag are you using? I like the size.
Thanks
Good video. Do you recommend this same 25 yard zero for a .308? For example a lmt mars h pistol with 13.5in barrel for closer engagements like cqb.
I always zero at 100 yards unless it’s a larger caliber like a 6.5 CM. Then I zero at 300 yards.
@frogmantactical ok thanks
Is it ok to have a bipod extend beyond muzzle if not using a suppressor or would it affect accuracy thanks.
As long as it’s not touching the barrel it’s fine. It has no bearing on the harmonics of the barrel itself. The further out and wider the base, the better as far as stability. But that’s not as tactically based. More of an extreme distance shooter setup.
both eyes thri scope? one eye closed? one eye raw on target w/one eye thru scope?
Both eyes open is best but sometimes you will squint.

There is going to be some differences between the two. It’s probably not much though…

Will this work for a red dot? Sig Romeo?
Yes it will. Just measure the distance from center of barrel to center of optic. It won’t be perfect but it will get you on target.
What is the purpose for wrapping your scope?
Breaks up the silhouette and reduces glare from the body of the optic
It protects it from scratches especially if you want to eventually sell it

It’s just toooo easy with an EOTech. But I also see the appeal of a 25, 50, or 100yd zero.
