BCM Training Tip - Mechanical Offset

[@MCgrease08]

A 50/200 zero works for me. Just hold 2-3 inches high at closer distances, 2-3 inches low at 100 yards. Very easy to remember.

[@ForTehNguyen]

same here, 25 yard zero sucks because you have to do a huge hold under at certain distances. 50 yard is pretty much point and shoot to 250 yards

[@Adcomb]

@@glennhynes5263 he means his hold is low. His impacts at 100 are high, so he holds low 2"-3"

[@glennhynes5263]

@@Adcomb got it.

[@ManDuderGuy]

Same here

[@michaelfrangoudakis823]

I’ve been using the 50/200 for years. Works great. Even at 300 yards it’s only a few inches low.

[@internetuser1324]

This is the best I’ve ever heard it explained. Thank you Larry. You are a legend sir.

[@seanwhite304]

36 yard BZO is my favorite

[@devilmanable]

That's what I started using after watching vigilance elite video

[@seanwhite304]

@@devilmanable Yeah I'm glad he did do that video . I took a class in 2012 and the instructor explained it to me . It made sense and worked best for me . I also do the 50 yard zero shot at 10 yards. Jerk the trigger has the targets you can print off to do so .

[@devilmanable]

I had never heard of it..I'm lucky to have my own range and for the area I live it made sense to try it. And I have been using it since well over a year

[@Hacksaw29]

Agreed! The best zero for a red dot setup hands down.

[@gobucks45177]

I used to be a 100m zero but I switched to a 36m zero. The holdovers were much easier out to 300m

[@adrianr514]

36/300 is king. Very little hold over/under at any distance.

[@robertalford1321]

Absolutely 36 yd zero

[@O5IR15]

Exactly. Even out to 500, the holdovers are still much tighter than other common zeroes.

[@budseltz340]

There is barely a holdover out to 300yds. A 36m zero would increase your holdover at distance.

[@dominic6634]

Same but I switched to a 36.238m zero just for longer distances

[@evanacey1414]

33 yard zero ALL THE WAY. If you are curious why 33 yards, watch the video about it that Sean did on his channel. Vigilance Elite. Basically, the 33 yard zero gives you the smallest deviation between your POA to your POI at every distance from point blank range out to 300 yards (all of your rounds will land within a space about as big as a CD. The 50/200 yard zero gives you a really small deviation from POA to POI until you push out past that 200 yard mark. Then you have massive hold overs you have to remember or you’ll be super low. Check out the vid Sean did on Vigilance Elite if I’m not making sense.. Its worth a watch for any AR shooter.

[@WeaverMTN]

No shit, huh I’ve never heard of that before but I definitely am a big fan of Shawn Ryan.

[@bman7036]

I also use the 36 yard zero for my RDS. 50 is good too. LV was right on when he said, "find what works for you".

[@magicluis145]

Thanks for everything LV. Stay strong and I wish you great health. You are a born fighter who has always come out on top when it mattered most. Prayers out brother.

[@johngalt3568]

I don’t own an AR platform, but I never watch a Vickers Tactical video without learning something that should otherwise be obvious. One of my favorite subscriptions Larry.

[@budstermcgreen6360]

A lot of new shooters and gun owners out there now. This is something I'm guessing most of those people are probably not aware of. I've always went with the 100 meter zero on all my long guns. No matter the purpose or application of the weapon. Thank you for everything you do LAV! ✌️

[@白惠翔]

Hope you get well, May God blesses this cool, old-school gentleman.

[@WyFoster]

I like 50yd. It's back on again at 200.

[@porkchop9087]

Thanks brother... its always good to have a refresher on the basic ... you are a outstanding man...thank you for all you do and have done...

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

LAV, thanks for a great video. You are a wonderful teacher.

[@alprimi]

I just want to tell you something Larry I love you brother......🇺🇸I am lucky to have you on this channel you are a wonderful teacher and God bless you and God bless your family🇺🇸

[@MrObrently]

I’m digging the 36 yd zero also. Can you try that one out Larry and show us how it works with your equipment?

[@ricksters11]

I like the 36 yard zero for my carbine, picked it up from another ops guy who explained it as keeping a CD size drop or rise all the way out to 300. So, point of aim to point of impact is torso out to 300 without having to put BD thought into it, then from there HEAD-HAT method for 400-500 respectively. It seems to work well for my setup which is a BCM 14.5". for close up shots, under 25y, just remember height over bore.

[@chris2para]

Fantastic clarity thanks

[@tylerchandler4317]

I love a 36yd poa poi. Using a lpvo

[@hydjrasierra1557]

Hope you are doing well, Larry. Thanks for the video!

[@stevej6413]

Best Wishes LAV!! Great video and thanks.

[@JG54206]

Awesome video Larry. If you zero at 36yd with most AR’s in 5.56 it will give you a very reasonable spread out to about 250yds. Same thing with a 50yd zero, but obviously slightly different trajectories. Those 2 are the most popular that I’ve seen. Shawn Ryan @ Vigilance Elite likes a 36yd zero and he has a video on it, and John Lovell from Warrior Poet Society advocated a 50yd zero and also has a video on it. Their videos will show actual data of where the POI is with their respective 36 and 50yd zeros at different ranges out to about 300. I would highly recommend someone who is looking for a good zero for their AR check these videos out. They’ll probably help you decide where you wanna be.

[@Dirtzoo]

Dispensive national treasure this man is.

[@bobbioook5612]

Very well explained thank you LAV

[@toyotahonda8921]

[@jstpsgthru]

Thanks for the content. Really nice looking rifle; the iron sights drew my attention. I'm going over to the web store to see if BCM has those for sale.

[@zlink8]

[@05Rm250RideAlong]

Love vickers ! Just bought a BCM BCG for my Ar15 it started life as a DB15 MZB .... bought it before my state started banning things .. was the best I could get at that moment .... bcm bcg will be here tomo or the next day ... then I plan to buy a nice barrel and gas block, although it won’t look as sweet as what Mr.Vickers had in the video the guys of the gun will be more reliable.

[@solidsnake902]

Eotech allows a good 50/200 yrd zero. The bottom ring also gives you the 7 yrd reference as well. Good all around

[@adamr9720]

Good info. Makes perfect sense. Also, you can tell ammo is expensive if Larry isn’t “fixin’ to light it up Vickers tactical style”.

[@C810B]

Excellent video, it really put aiming into perspective.

[@ervinjosephify]

Great Vid, very informative!

[@rogerpemberton79]

I run a 1-6X24 SFP MOA scope on my main battle rifle which actually makes figuring this out pretty easy. I'm pretty comfortable out to 50 yards on 1X on a silhouette target. With a 100 yard zero I shoot at CQB, 25, and 50 yard distances to find out what my reticle hold/offset is with my optic. With the offset iron sights I do the same thing I just have to make an educated guess in actual use after testing not having the designated hash marks of the scope.

[@irafowlerjr.7492]

very helpful, thanks

[@AlexLee-dc2vb]

Larry I'd love to see your thoughts on District 9

[@junioag7694]

Great information

[@junioag7694]

Makes you wonder why there isnt a automatic sight dot

[@ManDuderGuy]

I use a 50 yard zero because I prioritize accuracy at that distance. If I'm shooting up close, I just know that I have to aim a smidge high.

[@canebrakeruffian1122]

I love BCMs gray.

[@charlesrichardson2372]

Thanks LAV 🤙

[@rodneyalaking8241]

One thing that is important for new shooters to understand is that during the trajectory of a bullet, point of aim will equal point of impact two times. For example, if you zero at 50 yards, your are also zeroed at 200. You should Google bullet trajectory charts for your load and barrel length and use what works for you. Thanks LAV.

[@Adcomb]

You could zero at the peak of the bullets trajectory

[@supoaldb]

More Larry at the Movies!

[@mmelgoza1983]

[@danielstainier793]

Thanks 👍

[@jmullner76]

Get well soon Larry.

[@JohnGatesIII]

50/200 M zero makes the MOST sense for a civilian owned General Purpose rifle, especially in the home defense role. Why 50/200? Because it's the easiest to find information online, not just with the mechanics of the zero itself, but the offsets required at shorter or longer distances.

[@JohnGatesIII]

@@KenDavis-uo8kq M1A, in 7.62, has a possible range of 800M+; SOCOM maybe 500M because of the shorter barrel. There's got to be something on-line for zeroing the M14/M1A. What are you going to use the rifle for? Mission drives everything else.

[@rodneyalaking8241]

I agree. In a defensive scenario, you can aim center mass from point blank all the way to out to 200 (or a bit more) and get good hits.

[@stefanmolnapor910]

Thank you and God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@brunoterlingen2203]

Larry, I think it would have been advantageous to explain MPBR to the audience, very few individuals really understand this concept, yet it is (in my opinion) the best concept to understand, no matter what the off-set is.

[@robertalford1321]

[@stanleyju]

I don't know if the Army still does this, but we zeroed at 25 meters when I was in. My understanding of why we did this is that it gives you point of aim/point of impact at 300 meters.

[@05Rm250RideAlong]

This is what the guy at the gun range had me do with my very first AR15... I wanna say he said he was Ex military/army

[@louisjordan4702]

[@geebeaux]

50/200 for red dots. Close range should be everyone's first concern, defending yourself from your home/vehicle.

[@chiefro7]

36 for red dot and 100 for lpvo for me

[@danielsullivan7740]

I zero my rifles differently depending on barrel length. My 16 inch barrels are 100 yard zero, my 14.5 and 13.9 inch is a 50 yard zero and my MK18 10.3 barrel is a 36 yard zero. I know some think I’m ridiculous for doing that and maybe I am but it works for me and for how I use the rifles. The 10.3 is home defense. The 14.5 and 13.9 are truck guns and the 16 inch ones are for longer range stuff however truthfully I don’t use them much anymore. I might bring them out when we start killing commies lol. Great video as always Larry. Thank you!

[@buttsilike1209]

I like 200yds on all rifles ..Shotgun slugs at 50yds..Pistol with dot 25yds.. I hold dead on , until I miss. Usually with pistol..It's not the gun, it's that damn shot timer..
