earshot

Update: after zeroing @ 100m (indoor) I finally had time to try it at shorter distances yesterday.From 25m it now shoots still ok with the ammo that you used for the 100m zero (4.5 N340, 125 HN HP). My practice load for PCC shot about 2-3cm to the right....not really a problem. So all is ok. Shot a 7cm 5-shot group @ 100m prone yesterday which I find pretty good for my shorttened s3.

I zeroed on 100m last thursday.It took 5 clicks (aimpoint states 1 click is 16mm @100mm). Now I have to wait and see what the impact is (pun) on POI @ < 25m. I will know in a week or so. Other than that: Roundcount with the Scorpion is at 6500 and only one malfunction, which was cartridge related.Mine has a shortened barrel and a magpul stock.Wear and tear are still the same as roundcount 1000.Being a lefty, the ergonomics are spot on.Accuracy is 2-3 moa if I do my part. The only negative is the lousy trigger....Oh, and check the tightness of the screws that hold the frame together as they tend to loosen up after 5000 rounds. If I was righthanded I would probably opt for one of those nice JP’s but ergonomics are poor at best with those AR frames for a lefty. Big thumbs up for CZ on this one! (Now go and improve those triggers)

I’ve been shooting rifles for 35 years....I know about trigger control so I would very much rule that one out. I will zero at 100m tomorrow and see what it will do at 20-25m next week.

BTW: I asked Aimpoint the same question.

About 3-4 inches.

CZ scorpion evo3 is zeroed at 25m but has a significant shift to the left (out of the A-zone) at longer range (> 50m). My optic is an aimpoint pro. Bulletweight doesn’t seem to matter. Gun holds 2-3 moa @ 100m. Any ideas on what causes this drift of POI?

I did some shooting from 25meters on a typical bullseye target completely ignoring the fibre. I also 'held' the FS aligned Bullseye-style (meaning the top of the FS in the white below the black). All the loads I tried ended up in the black; one load (123 Fiochi , federal spp, 4.0 VV N320) shot very soft and got me a nice group....nothing wrong with gun. I did notice that it's VERY difficult to get a focus on my rear sight when aligning the top of the FS; I could not see the serrations until I fully stretched out my arms. I guess with 44 yrs of age my right eye starts to deteriorate for seeing close-up (vision was tested a week ago and was OK ; also I can easily see a 9mm bullethole in a fresh target from 25m)). I'm not happy at all. So, probably tonight I'm taking the CZ to my gunsmith and have a C-more attached. I'm really pissed...ending up shooting Open Class (*spits on the ground* .... ) The thing is that I'm sure I'm gonna run into a new problem: shooting a C-more dot with cross-dominance!?

Thanks for the reply. Well, I have been thinking very hard about what has gone wrong. The theory I have is that the fibre FS draws so much attention to itself that I did not properly level the front with the rear. Lately my capability of doing a quick and proper focusshift with my right eye has deteriorated drastically. Suffering from cross-dominant eye-sight ain't helping either. If I cannot get better results than a C-More might be a last resort and that would suck because I'm a real stockgun fan... Anyway, tonight Ill do some 25 meters accuracy tests to check if the gun is not causing these Unidentied Flyers I will set the gun up to hit the point of aim with the top of the FS as mentioned above. Thanks again.

Hi all. I got myself a cz 9mm champion last week. It came equipped with a fibre optic front sight and regular LPA rear. First time I shot / own a fibre optic equipped gun. Last night I had some IPSC practicing on our indoor range and it went very, very bad. I've never had so many shots going too high. Shooting relaxed on 25m I get nice A zone hits but when I'm gunning a stage it all goes tits. What's the trick with those fibre optics? Do you set it up so that the dot hits at point of aim or do you still use the top of the sight for that? Another problem I encounter is the difference in lighting on various target-distances; it makes the optic glow bright, very bright, or invisible....makes me believe that a fibre optic sight is not the best solution for indoor shooting?

Over here in the Netherlands most suicidal people jump in front of a train...if people want to kill themselves they will always find a way. Very sad indeed.

Thanks all. I'll bring my (dutch) permit with me maybe that'll help. I'll probably check out both ranges that Nolan mentioned. cheers.

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't need to be an indoor range...outdoor is perfect as well. Problem is that bringing my own guns is not an option (duh) so I'll have to rent. cheers.

Hi, I'll be in Fremont for a couple of weeks. I was wondering if there's a nice shooting range nearby where I can rent a pistol and do some shooting? cheers, Eric
