I’ve always run 36 yards zero and confirmed out to 300. It’s practically the same thing. Anywhere between 36 yards out to 300 is point of aim point of impact with only a few inches of variation anything past that hold high like you would instinctively do if you were lobbing a football. the tighter zero the better.

@mrdark99165 ай бұрын
Actually honestly for 200yd and less the 50yd zero is superior. It's a tad tighter out to 200, the issue issue is the 9in of drop for 300yds with the 50yd zero. The 36yd zero has SLIGHTLY more deviation to 200 (you'll be 4-5in high at 100-200 typically)but remains essentially dead on at 300 as it drops in. So if your course only goes to 200 at most, a 50 yard zero might be best. But especially for shooting at unknown distances real world, 36yd is my choice and what I use. Because you can't always dictate the range. But if I knew for a fact I would only shoot to 200, 50yd zero is what I'd use

I mean a 2 MOA scope covers 2” so the ability to align the dot to a tighter grouping is harder. It has nothing to do with the barrels ability. Just alignment. Imagine a 6 MOA. It covers a lot of space so naturally it’ll be harder to hold a tighter group. 🙏

I'm no frogman but I was a tanker in the Army. We always zeroed our rifles at 25 meters. When you are dead on at 25 meters because of the trajectory of the 5.56 you are dead on again at 300. Yards are shorter than meters but if you zero 300 yards you are basically zeroing for 25 yards. This is due to the arc of the bullet.

From what I can tell, it depends on the distance you'll be engaging in the most. Exclusive CQB, 25 is probably best. 36 is the best middle ground for all situations, and 50 or 100 if you are exclusively going to be shooting longer distances. But as you zero for longer distances, your holdiver for close range targets changes massively. Great video and info, thank you! 25 or 36 for me 👍
@mrdark99165 ай бұрын
Lol no. 25 is NEVER best. That is an ABSOLUTELY TRASH zero. The whole point of a carbine is the ability to shoot at distance. You can go from CQB inside but the second you step out the door you might be in a fight at 200yds..... 25yd zero is utter garbage. And 50 is WORSE for longer distance than 36...... And the 100yd zero is really only best if you're using a scope with BDC that REQUIRES a 100yd zero.... 50 is best for 200 and in....and only slightly... With significant drop past 200 (which isn't necessarily bad you just have to understand that) 36 is best for all around shooting. where you might be shooting at unknown ranges anywhere from CQB out to 3-400+yds... Only SLIGHTLY more deviation inside 200 but allowing dead holds center mass out to 300 with everything from 5yd to 300yds all inside a 6in impact zone Essentially a 50yd zero is a little tighter at 100-200yds (about 2in at most in deviation) but drops 9+in to hit 300yds. Great zero for general use if you're in a setting where shots past 200 would be rare anyways But if you live in an area where you might have longer sight lines out to 3 - 500 yds, the 36yd zero is the best general purpose because there is no thinking involved until PAST 300 which is useful because it can be very difficult to guesstimate range, and targets will only very rarely be fully exposed once a fight starts.

@PoliticallyInsensitive4 ай бұрын
The 36yd zero used to be called Maximum Point Blank Range. And it depends on your ammo, muzzle velocity, and most importantly, your desired target area. For example, where I live above 6000' asl, for a 8" target my near zero is 35yd, my far zero is 275yds and I'll hit in the bottom 4" of that target it to 321yds...on paper. If I shrink the target to 6" my zeroes change to 40yds, 249yds, and 290yds respectively. As stated, you need to know your capability and the purpose of your setup in order to pick the "right" zero for your system. If you didn't plan on shooting further than 200yds in a crowded city either this or a 50/200 would be fine. If you're in Kansas or Nebraska and might be taking shots at 600 or 700 maybe a 300yd zero is for you.

This all varies greatly based on barrel length, bullet weight, and environment. Also, I believe your mount for your vortex sparc is backwards. It may not always shift but mounting a red dot on a handguard is not as sturdy as the upper receiver, especially if it is a cheap handguard.
@frogmantactical6 ай бұрын
No, the optic mount isn’t backwards. No, the optic isn’t mounted on the rail itself. No, environmental factors do not play into your zero. No, the barrel length does not determine your zero as it has no bearing on your accuracy. No, bullet weight has nothing to do with your zero rather the harmonics of the barrel. My friend. Your entire comment is 100% inaccurate. You can simple google these things to see if they are or are not accurate before you comment. It’s super important you don’t assume things. You mislead others and that is why most can’t shoot. They believe this nonsense. 🙏

Yeah. Barrel length, weight of the bullet, .223 vs 5.56, height of the optic, velocity of the round, etc. Is 36 yds a viable zero sure, but so is 50, and 100 depending on application and the stated variables. The 2.26" mounts call for a 67yard zero for the smallest groupings out to 300 center mass, again dependent on other variables. That's the only thing that drives me nuts with this channel is the statements of certainty, despite the consideration of variables at play. Also he misses the point of the battle zero, it's when there is unknown distance what is going to give you a hit holding center mass. Sure through practice and experience and tricks you can learn to gauge it but it becomes more and more guesstimate math past a certain distance. Hence why scopes and reticles become important. Right tools for the job.

Something for people to also keep in mind is zero distance is not universal. If you change bullet weight, barrel length, barrel twist, and ESPECIALLY when changing height over bore (such as with risers or different optics, etc.), you will see different high/drop points with different zero distances and the optimal zero distance may be different than this chart. I always run numbers through a ballistic calculator and then verify/confirm on the range. Also, some optics with a built in BDC require a specific zero distance in order for the BDC to function.

I’d just snapshot it. I don’t have it to where you can download it per say.

with a 36yd zero and 55gr, 16"bbl and 1:7 we see printing of about 6-8" high at 100. What are we doing wrong?
@frogmantactical4 ай бұрын
Nothing. You are using a 16” barrel which has a higher velocity and full powder burn whereas a 10.5” won’t give that. 16” will usually produce 2850-2950 fps where with a 10.5” it’s closer to 2600 fps therefore the bullet is traveling faster with a longer barrel and will impact higher. Each round is different and will produce slightly different results based on round and barrel. Just pick a round you like and log the impacts and if needed make an adjustment. Combative just aim middle of torso and you will impact every time.

0:49 dot size guarantees what your grouping should be at 100?
@frogmantactical5 ай бұрын
No. The larger the dot, the harder it is to align over previous impact points. A smaller dot is easier to manage for precision. Just like a scope. The larger the cross hair, the more it takes up on target. 🙏

Why do people go to a high dollar class without spending $75 weekend at an Appleseed to work the bugs out of their kit and fundamentals?
@frogmantactical5 ай бұрын
Because they don’t know the basics is what leads to being good. Everyone wants to operate and are impatient. This is also why most will never accomplish much. They want it now instead of investing time to grow. 🙏

What about a 50 yard zero?
@frogmantactical4 ай бұрын
50 for a 5.56 is the flattest out to 300. Good zero as well.

Stop spreading bad information please. Your zero for ANY firearm should depend on a ballistics calculator that factors your barrel length and ammo’s velocity. Every barrel length change and change in ammo moves your zero drastically 👍
@frogmantactical5 ай бұрын
Nonsense. This is not precision. It’s combative measures. The difference between a 10.5” and 16” barrel velocity and drop is not significant enough inside 300 yards. You can zero at any point from 25-300 yards and still impact at any given distance inside 300 yards on a human size target. It’s not even a debate. It’s scientific and proven time and time again. 👍
