Slaying the HOB Goblin (TIS410)

[@louislarose6613]

Great Video Sir ! This is actually valueable data. Thank you for sharing your efforts with us.

in such cases, you can use a periscope mounted on the front lens of the sight,as well as a side sight, I often aim from the side when shooting at close range

I like guns, and I like math. Both in the same video is even better!

[@gmanshackshack6822]

Your line of sight is not perpendicular to the target, so some of your error is being created due to the angle of intersection. Place your target at eye height when firing to alleviate. Add to that paced out, rather than measured ranges...

You are correct, that might have been the worst ever experimental procedure I've ever seen. So many things wrong.

Nice play on words. For short ranges a low HOB is advantageous. For medium to long range a greater HOB is beneficial. I say this before watching the video.

A thing tactical shooters practice to know. I've not seen anyone do the math in an equation for it though. 😊 Very interesting & cool, good data. HOB is only really cared about with optics because they are so much higher than most irons. But that being said, irons on an AR they higher then most "traditional" iron sights on "older style" rifles. Still, having a decent 'guess' before firing rounds is a very good thing.

how geek. YOU are an engineer. I took notes :)

[@davidjernigan8161]

Could the deviation be due to the fact that when shooting you didn't have the bore of the rifle parallel to the ground and at the approximate height of the target?

[@nogmeerjan]

How do you determine whether your sight is on the first or the second hit distance?

Snow in August?

[@rickoshea8138]

Clearly the video capture, editing and release don't occur on consecutive days.

A real offender in this are Air force PCP air rifles.
