What distance do you zero at?

[Bluemooncricket]

I've got my rifle running and now it's time to sight it in. Do you guys zero at 50 and compensate for closer targets? Would a 15 or 25yd zero be more ideal for USPSA and Steel Challenge? Do any of you approach PCC as an opportunity to run a platform that mimics your defense rifle or is it purely for fun?

20 yards seems fine for any USPSA pistol course. 

[SpaceMan]

I started at 15 yards then I decided to go to 25 for my zero.

[Les Snyder]

I like 1" high at 25yd....helps makes up for my tendency to get complacent on close in upper B zone shots... as to mimic my defensive rifle, one thing shooting a PCC at a USPSA match will do is point out the tremendous improvement in hit quality over a pistol... not necessarily as fast on some scenarios, but a lot of shooters are becoming impressed

[Bob Hostetter]

I was sighting mine in at 25 yards but recently decided to sight it in at 100 yards just to see if it made any difference. I have shoot two matches since then and haven't noticed an issue.

[Flatland Shooter]

I need to verify it at the range, but my 9mm PCC is zeroed at 22-1/2 yards,  Per Streyloc this will also put 50 yards at zero and 100 yards at down 8".

[Alvin]

Since I'm only shooting pcc matches I sight in for 10 yards.  this makes it just a little high at 25 yards.  still hits at 100 high also but not shooting at anything past 25 yards or so at the match.

I also zero at 10 yards.   For me its the best middle ground for offset for targets seen in a USPSA Match.   When I first zero'd at 20 yards the offset for targets 7 yards and closer was way to low.  Around 6-8 inches.  Not a big deal with wide open targets.  Once you start engaging head shots with hard cover or no shoots at the speed. Under that stress I am not going to consistently apply the necessary Kentucky wind-age.   Much easier to apply 6-8 inches of Kentucky wind-age to the few 25+ yards targets  we see in a match.

Sighted in at 100 yards except at the muzzle it never varies over 1" on point of impact vs point of aim.

The sight over bore on an AR is only around 2.5 inches. It would be impossible to shoot 6-8" low at 7 yards and hit POA at 20 yards...

[UFO]

I zero'd mine in at 10yds. Results were 1" low at 7yds, 1" high at 15yds 1 1/2" at 20yds. That's more than good enough for USPSA.

[Alvin]

UFO...that's about exactly what I found out after sighting in at 10 yards.  Works very well for USPSA.

 

[AzShooter]

I sight in at 15 yards.  My range doesn't have a 20 yard line.    After getting my sight set at 15 I check my 25 yarder and I can hit all As with the same sight setting.  I'm just low at 10 yards bu easily compensated for. 

[eddiegunks]

I use my mpx. My 115 are traveling at 1400+ fps. (I use load data right off of the titegroup can)

zero at 25. (It is a 25,100 zero)  obviously it will be low at 10 but i am used to that with the ar.  Holding top of a 10 yd plate always works for me.  

 

[Bluemooncricket]

Good stuff guys!!

[Mulligan03]

Just zeroed my mro at 10 yards after reading some comments on here and think I am gonna like it.. shoots little high at 25 and about 1 inch low at like 3 to 5 yards. 

[resortboarder]

I prefer zero'd at 25yds or a tolerance of +0/-2" for most targets and stages. I'm not worried about compensating for being ~1" high if there's a target 50-90yds. Seems to work well so far.

[Hoosiershooter]

I zeroed at 15. For the local matches that's more than fine. I'm about 3" high at 50 for bay style 3 gun.

Hello: I zero it at 18 yards just like my open pistol. I know where it hits at 25 yard head shots and 120 yard shots. I am using a C-More railway with a 6MOA dot. I may try a 4 MOA dot next. Thanks, Eric

[al23]

I zero at 25 yards because that all I have access to, worked great so far for indoor uspsa matches

[usmc1974]

10 yards

[wiselder]

don't guess ... get the data

http://www.federalpremium.com/Ballistics_Calculator/

for me personally ..... 25yds

[compshootfl]

The ballistics listed on their chart is for a 4" barrel length...just sayin'

[barrysuperhawk]

the Range I zeroed at has a convenient 15 yard line, so thats where I zeroed.  I just remember than any long shots are 6 oclock hold...

 

[wiselder]

velocity is velocity ... don't worry about barrel length
