stingerjg Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yesterday at the range i had to test fire some guns i did some work on. Most of my shooting was at 7-15yards to check sight alignment and accuracy. The next match we are shooting has a 45yard classifier stage on it, so i thought i would double check the zero of my open gun. Im so glad i did. I had the target at 25yards and i was shooting from a rest. I carefully aimed the 6MOA dot at the target and squeezed of 5 rounds. I then went down range to look at my groups, only to find there were no shots on the target whatsoever. I went back to the bench and fired 5 more rounds, but i held the dot at the very bottom of the target. When i went back down range i was shooting about 13" high and 4" to the right. I cant tell you the last time i checked my zero, but its been years. Im just wondering how long its been this far off. I am really glad i checked b4 i shot anymore matches.

Jake Di Vita Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yeah, checking my zero is part of the match prep I go through before every major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENE S Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I zero my 38 sup in at 25 yards on a 6" steel plate. If I am able to hit that, I should be good for anything that we use in IPSC. I do shoot Bianchi, and the plate rack is good practice. Gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Me too on the sight check before every major match. I don't shoot open so no dot info. On my iron sighted guns, I aim center of the "head" and look for all A shots at 18 yds. Good for all distances this way, (center mass of target).

bkeeler Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 What is a good distance for zeroing a 45 acp for L10? I have a steel match in a couple weeks and need to zero my gun just dont know what yard to zero at for best results. 15yds? 25yds? 50yds? Thanks BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter-Booth-A43995 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Zero in at 25. Get a target at 50 and shoot a few times just to know where your gun hits at that distance. You need it with matches like the World Shoot Qualifier, in Mich, and Last years Open nats in tulsa. Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
