Holdover and Offset – AR and Red Dot – Shooting Tips from SIG SAUER Academy

Holy crap. His standing groups are my sitting groups. 😕🤷‍♂️

Pistol guns shooting

I wonder if the school shooters practice all this. I would rather have a school full of unpolished good guys with a gun( which I would guess about 75 % of gun owners ) then one or two highly trained shooters. When some nut walks in with a gun he would be burnt down asap. Sorry I got political. I do like the videos you put out. Thanks for the great info. I am apart of 25% that actually train and know exactly where my gun will hit from 3 feet out to 100 yards.

You are the best Mr Painchaud. God bless you

Awesome Shooting & Instruction -Respect.

When I aim with my red dot sight, if I move my head around the dot moves. Given this how can the sight be accurate?

great video, straight forward, pleasing to watch, I just bought myself a graduation present, a Delton 556, Her name is Ms Cheryl lynn, cant wait to take her on her first date to the range, thanks for the video

If you zero at 100 yards, then your regular 5.56 round should not go above the line of sight at all. This way you only need to think of holdover adjustment. Somewhat simpler to remember. Though, accurately zeroing at 100 will require optics with magnification.

This is too much to chance in a hostage situation but I saw a video of a cop taking the shot

Does it make any real difference where you place the red dot on the rail? I've seen as close to rear sight, middle and furthest down the rail. Is it preference or is there a real ideal placement?

even at 3 yards, the group is awesome

anyone have an idea what optic that is? i just purchased myself my first rifle. a colt m4 le6920. great rifle from my understanding. im looking to get an optic for it. holographic like that. im not looking for a scope style optic or a low profile thin little pistol red dot. i like the bulkier style holographic as shown on his rifle in this video. thanks. any help is appreciated or opinions.

I'm getting a little pissed when I shoot my pistol I can hit everything on a target but when it comes to knocking down them metal targets its a no go 🙁

Great shooting awsome

That group size is really good for standing. I can barley do that on a bench rest. Really good shooter.

This is the most common mistake with shooters under even competition stress hitting low through all their close targets. By the way I wish someone would go through holdover offsets when shooting with gun on it's side, example slightly high and toward the magazine. Very important if you want critical hits from prone and other odd shooting positions, such as under the skirt of a vehicle, or junkyard prone over a trunk or hood. I'm about to move from the 50 yard zero to a 36 to see what the benefits might be.

Thanks

So if the target was beyond 50 yards you would have to drop your POA?

this was very helpful!

All of his videos are extremely well done.  I see why he has this job.

SIg Guns a awesome I own several remember  when you mount your optic keep it low to the barrel to help with this offset

Hmm…when I first started shooting, I theorized about this effect, but was not sure if it existed since everyone told me it didn't. I assumed they were right for awhile since  I started only shooting pistols and low profile iron sights, which are only half a centimeter from the bore. Because of that offset was negligent, but when I scoped my rifle and sited it in at 25 yards and tried shooting at 2 yards, I missed, and this effect became apparent. Glad I'm not crazy and that I'm not the only one. But, does anyone know if there is an optical design that counters this? Perhaps even, a red dot that can have 2 settings for quick switch, like a zero at 5 yards and a zero at 100.

he drew that rifle like it was "go time".

Anyone know what rifle that is?

Very impresive shooting.
