How to Zero Your Aimpoint

[@untangledmind1]

Good info for beginners from the Aimpoint guys in Sweden. Respect to my friends in Sweden!

[@Cejo871]

Just picked up my first optic and because of you, it's an Aimpoint

[@eugenestump111]

That guy looks and sounds like the guy that Bruce Willis fights with in all those Die Hard movies

[@MattGoesSkiing]

Beautiful G36C!

[@Bravorion]

Welcome to Sweden, Mr. Vickers. Had I known you'd be here I would have tried to get the chance to meet you or at least spot you in the distance. :) Big fan.

[@RDM_1611KJV]

Regarding 3:53. My elevation knob doesn't make the clicking sound like how the windage one does. I still feel the positivity of the detent but with no clicking sound. Is that still ok?

[@recon1986]

I also use 5 shot groups because 1 of the 3 could be a pull the other could be breathing so 5 shots gives me a good accurate grouping to start from

[@billieprescott1]

1:09 fires weapon, does not blink. I think he's done this before.

[@talon1686]

Thank you for the video. I love my Aimpoint.

[@elitetrader5468]

Very helpful video. Much oblige!

[@joslinnick]

You pay a premium for an Aimpoint sight, something I don't really mind all that much. Keep in mind that you are paying extra for something that is of high precision, lasts a lifetime, is manufactured in a western nation by a company that stands behind their product, doesn't cut corners, and employs workers who are fairly compensated.

[@boobam3648]

i can’t possibly care less about anything you said, Nick Joslin. not a year ago when you said it, and definitely not now. you have to keep in mind your hippie bullplop is the kind of thing that gives me a big floppy half chub.

[@spraynpray]

I put the rifle/upper in a rest of whatever type I can rig. I line the bore up with the center of a target at 50 yards by eyeball. I crank the optic down to center-ish of the target. It usually takes one 1 round group to get zeroed. The second shot hits bulls. Once I had a gunsmith lasersight an optic. It was off by about 37 miles at 100 yards. I'm rounding down. It may have been more than 37 miles off target.

[@mrhellotherehowareu1384]

A mile off is pretty dangerous but nearly 3 dozen miles off sound very dangerous. I’d throw that optic away before you kill someone 37 mile away.

[@johnd9357]

Something I don't quite understand about aimpoint, is that they use an LED for the emitter. Most LED's have about a 55,000 hour life span. Meaning, leaving it on for 6 years would effectively use up the life span of the emitter. I don't hear about LED's in aimpoint's going bad, so either the life span of LEDs are generally a LOT longer than 55k hours, or aimpoint gets some seriously high quality LEDs.

[@degorostizaw]

I dunno but my micro t1 is almost 9 years old and has gone thru 3x battery changes - works fine

[@nicklausbooks1593]

Great video! Thanks for posting as I really appreciate it. Good info.

[@MD-mm1zv]

I thought this sight was intended to be used with both eyes open. Not squinting as with a scope. Indeed, might be best used with the front lens cap closed (as some suggest). What am I missing here?

[@Gertryyd]

I have dominant Left side and shoot from Right side.

[@mat92ish]

That G36 is used by the Swedish special forces (SOG). I think they use the micro as well.

[@Tremis_Dynamics]

Where can we find that target? The ones on Aimpoints website are not like that one.

[@AboHashem515]

thompson robert do you have a link?

[@LongRangeDesertGroupX]

So question about the target you guys are using, I see they offer the targets on Aimpoints website. Did he add the white dot to the target? He mentions something about the zeroing that specific rifle and the ballistics and thats why he is using that white dot and that point of aim. I have one of Tom Bostic's new G36C (T36) and plan on zeroing my T1 soon and was looking at getting a target off aim points site and I guess zeroing like you guys are in the video.

[@Cyberbanditmx]

Anything thats is from Scandinavia are built tough no questions asked , like Nokia, Volvo and A impoint

[@cchgn]

Why can't folks say which way to move the dots and what that does to the poi.? Y'all shot low and right, so which way did you move the dots?

[@lowerspeedhigherdrag]

The controls are labeled for the way you move the impact of the bullet. In other words is you want the impact of the round to move left, move the dial in the direction indicated as "left" if you want it to hit higher move it towords the direction indicated for "up". Right or down would be the same principle. The only time this is different is zeroing iron sights, using front sight adjustments.

[@ryananderson9267]

Do I need to have the rifle laying on something to stabilize it or can I do this standing with it shouldered?

[@kevmeh796]

I'm from Sweden!! Gilla om du e svensk...

[@danpass12]

Is there a recommended distance for sight relief?

[@MrGoodSkills]

If you have a carbine ready for CBC environment, but you may have to engage far targets as well, what will be the best zeroing option? Still 25, or 50, 100?

[@VickersTacticalLAV]

100 yds

[@MrGoodSkills]

Tnx!

[@heynando]

pretty good!

[@andrewbrowning4008]

Why dont you sight in point of aim point of impact? Im a little unsure why the Aimpoint sighting target it setup that way.

[@spraynpray]

Because the optic is so far above the boreline, at 25 yards your impact is still very low compared to point of aim for a 100 or 200 yard zero.

[@abeglaser6410]

Andrew Browning I thought the reason you aim high and hit low at 25 yards is because the 5.56 mm bullet stays low until it gets to 37 yards. Then it rises and hits 2"-3" high at 100 yards. The Swedish guy was right that you should check your point of impact at the longer rages to know where your bullet is hitting at that range.

[@DKsupreme69420]

So here is what the video is really about, that is totally what the civilian g36 is gonna look like, are you gonna make the announcement Larry?

[@bradburroughs8039]

Where can I go to download (print ) that exact target ??

[@gregorypradervand1683]

www.vigilanceelite.com/blogs/vigilance-elite-blogs/36-yard-zero

[@neonpaintsplash]

So when I'm zeroing I shouldn't be on target at 25 yards? I should be hitting two inches below where I'm aiming?

[@darith27]

yes sir

[@koettfaers]

Yes, close distance the bullet drop abit lower than aim. At mid distance its around the highest point, before it drops down again. Better to shot abit low on shorter distances (but still hit the guy where it drops him) than shooting high on 100-300 metres. Better to "hit where you aim" on those distances too

[@TheWizard902]

Has anybody noticed a change of impact when changing the brightness level of the dot from the initial Zeroing ??

[@Brian91z]

Is this a movie!? What's with all the music?

[@JuanCarlos-jy7mg]

hmmm, i thought u loctite the screws that go into the aimpoint itself...?

[@BAcHIGU_]

G36!

[@RaftGuidePhil]

Was this shot pre T2?

[@inurfaceson9722]

Just used my $800 red dot and it won't zero at all.

[@zardadkhan2555]

The music?

[@Kash_Tastee]

I'm using a rather inexpensive "TruGlo" on my 9mm carbine. Super hard to DOPE. Using a weapon of such limited power with a red dot, how many meters (yes, I'm American, I just took the time to complete the 8th grade) would you suggest that I start sighting in my red dot, and from how far away should I "call it good"?

[@DontComeToMyHouse]

Point of Aim is Point of Impact @ 50 yards = DONE

[@ElCineHefe]

Turn the bongo drums all the way up!

[@Underground308]

[@drewbartow]

Good stuff! Got a feeling Aimpoint stock is going to go up.

[@harrydexter8426]

Good info. 👍😊🇺🇸✝️

[@jakubkuszewski7846]

Why is that target not availeable on aimpoint webpage??

[@sherrigaskin5656]

Don't like this tiny sight on this size weapon. Might as well just use an RMR. A Comp or a Pro would be a more appropriately sized sight.

Someone don't know, how to use a Reddot. Why is he closing his eye while using a 1x Reddot?

[@reliablethreat23]

Larry Vickers is former special forces. He knows what he's doing.

Wonderful- The instructor has an accent and your blaring music in the background. Rank amateurs.

"Even here in Europe" ... you know where Aimpoint comes from, dont you?

Thats G36 i have that gun but mine said G39 coz its airsoft hhaha well i got the real one

Please kill the background drama music.

parler français svp

[@Valentinik09]

Why the shooter close one eye????? Should NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lornwell3669]

that is NOT how you zero in a sight. Constant shooting position changin, no breathing control, probably poor trigger control either, no wonder you r group was bad.

[@perlenbacher6788]

***** What is your take on us swedes except for our fine ladies? :)

[@daviddarby6263]

Terrible video. Doesn't tell me about how to set thing up on a rifle.

[@neonpaintsplash]

What do you mean? You just put it on the rail and it's good to go.

[@billyjester5207]

David Darby this was a confusing video. Too much background noise from the music and both gentlemen in the video giving instructions just adds to more noise and confusion.

[@kleinster9937]

Recommendation....Have someone who speaks English. I need an interpreter to understand anything he says

[@Jhorne84]

Im pretty sure Larry mentioned he was in Sweden dude

[@M4kkMester]

+Kleinster99 If you listen to him you can understand. Even I can understand though I'm not a native English speaker.

Yea and what do you do if the only fucking ranges around you only go up to 100yds....
