CaliPCC Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What is the best way to sight in for PCC? I'm using a Holosun 510C. Suggestions for sight in paper targets, distance, etc. Link to comment
Hi-Power Jack Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If most of your shots will be at 15 yards, that would be a good distance, BUT if you need to take 50 - 100 yard shots, then I'd sight in at 25 yards. Either way, I'd want to know where it shot at 5 and 50 yards. I print my own targets from the internet - pick one that you prefer. I'm a big believer in sighting in from a very steady rest, but then prove it's sighted in by firing some groups hand held, just like you will shoot during a match. Link to comment
longbeard Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 As stated above. Depends on the game. USPSA for me, I sight in @ 15 yards. I use target sticker spots on a USPSA cardboard target. I use a table and set my range bag on it. I use my bag as a rest for the muzzle. Free hand works as well. After that I would record hold overs as you move in every 5 yards. It's roughly a 1/2" every 5 yards. Link to comment
Tampa-XD45 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Make sure you know your sight to bore offset at close range. Mine is 3" so the bullet will hit 2" - 3" under the red dot at up close targets. This also comes into play when shooting through ports or sideways around barricades at close distances. Recently I was aiming just above the bottom of a port, forgot about bore offset and had 2 rounds hit the wooden 2x4 that was the bottom of the port. It's easy to forget about bore offset when switching between pistols and PCCs. Link to comment
rishii Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 My red dot is zeroed at 20 the green laser is at 7 for those hard lean shots on close targets with only the upper A visible I use the laser, when I shoulder the pcc the laser is visible easily out to 20yd Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I agree with Jack, bench first at the range you will shoot most then confirm freehand, I shoot steel so there are some longer shoots I like 25 yards. Try some different brands of ammo to see what you like best , once you find a brand or handload you like sight in and have fun. Link to comment
HoMiE Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I get it close freehand @ 25 yards, then bench for 100 yards. I’ll throw my load data into a ballistic program and verify from 5,7,10,12,15,20,25,30,40,50,75 offsets. Link to comment
rowdyb Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I zero my red dot at 25 and my laser at 7 yards. Like many I build a very stable shooting position and shoot 3 as perfect of shots as possible at 25 yards. I use a brown paster on the white side of a uspsa target. I also set the dot as dim as possible to reduce flaring of the dot to my eyes. So I just keep shooting and looking and adjusting until the gun shoots the paster at 25 yards. Then I'll take a little break and shoot at least 10 rounds slow fire from the same position and check the general distribution. If I like that shoot another 10 standing. If I like that I load up a mag and do what I call my 5/5/50. I start 5 yards from the target and fire 5 rounds. I then repeat this 5 yards back until I've done it out to 50 yards. At 5 and 10 yards I'm close enough to see the hits to know my offset and differentiate them from bad hits as I get further away. If I'm in a shorter bay then I do a 3/3/30. Link to comment
