Zeroing Your AR-15 Rifle | For Dummies and Beginners

Beautiful rifle

Greetings from Minnesota. Home of T@mp0nT!m.

I think someone should get an upper and lower from SLR Rifleworks, then get the Woox furniture on it.. i be that would be a beautiful piece..

Correct me if I’m wrong but the way I remember, in the military it was 25/300 meters , NOT yards. Thanks.

They make that same furniture for pump shotguns and it is beautiful

You forgot about your height over bore offset at 25m. Your point of aim and point of impact are going to be slightly offset.

Magic bullet ,Hilarious! You know there are actually people on here that believe everything you say.😂

where can i get the steel supports for your wooden "Czech Hedgehog"

Expensive wood clothes

Pull your bolt and charging handle out and look thru your barrel. Point the barrel right at the bullseye. Without moving the gun, look thru the sight. If they are not in alignment, you simply adjust the red dot or crosshair until it's aiming at the same target as your barrel. This is called a boresight and will save time, frustration and ammo. Then, you only need to shoot two small groups to make adjusment and confirm zero. Try it!

Great explanation! And stick figure too 👊 thanks for sharing

Looking fresh my guy! Great vid as always. Every one ready for the election? Lets get goooo

beautiful work on that rifle

Bullets don’t rise!!!! Height over bore is something you need to learn before you give lessons. Bullets only drop. Anyone watching this video please look up height over bore on YouTube.

I don't usually comment, but I got something out of this video.

I have been shooting rifles for about a couple of years now, mostly for fun. Your comments about the over and under shots in relation to the zero got me thinking about the optic on my rifle. I thought about it so much I went and ordered a new optic that has more than just a red dot, and I can't wait to try using the additional markings on the glass to dial in targets at ranges other than where I zeroed it.

Great content, solid advice. Thanks

Chad! I love your videos and we have a lot in common when it comes to how you feel about life. I use to love hunting and especially shooting high powered rifles at paper targets. I studied ballistics and a bullet ‘s path is parobolic. As soon as the bullet leaves the barrel gravity immediately starts to pull the bullet down. The only reason the bullet rises is because the optic sits higher than the axis of the barrel so you are pointing the barrel up to meet the axis of the optic. The bullet never travels above the axis of the barrel. Great videos and content, keep up the great job!

Well done.

the "25 yard" zero and why: 25 yards is 22.83 meters. It's really a 23 meter zero not 25 yard. Why?
20in barrel & green tip that 23 meter zero is also a 300 meter zero.
and roughly 150m the round was about 6in high which works out super great for A2 irons. Much easier to aim a little low than to aim high with that front sight post

I would love to buy one of those beautiful beautiful gun what's the price

When are you and Joe Rogan going to hook up

Very good work stud…my no 1 rife iz high and left at 25 yards at 150 it will take center out of target at 150 yards….but again great video….

The only thing that kind of irked me was when you said "the bullet rises"; even though you were obviously joking because you said it was for to magic. Someone who doesn't know any better might not realize that it IS rising but only in relation to the line of sight.

FRUNITURE?? Is this is a redneck thing?!

Thanks Chad, very helpful! Make sence

Good stuff brother..

Stop saying that the bullet rises. The bullet starts to drop as soon as it comes out of the barrel.

The optic or the sights are aimed down in comparison to the barrel so essentially when your sight is pointed straight at the target the barrel is pointed slightly up so that the bullet falls into the target at a predetermined range.

The Bullet rises because the bore axis of you gun is pointed up to intersect you sight. I personally use the 36yd zero.

Move one knee up a little to take your diaphragm off of the ground.
Do not rest the mag on the ground, don't be a teeter totter turd.
Press center of trigger, unless it is a flat trigger. Don't drag wood if you know what that means?
The bullet, if fired flat begins to drop immediately. Fired in an arc it will "rise" until the halfway point. Bullets do not defy gravity.
Why not set the point of aim on the bullseye dot, and adjust from there?
Just use a sheet of graph paper that has 1/4" grid to take the guess work out of measuring clicks.
Yes, zero at 25 yards. 1/4" is one MOA. If you can do that 10 times in a row you can claim you shoot sub MOA, then move out to 50 yards 1/2" MOA, etc.
With an AR you can open up the action and actually bore sight with your eye looking down the barrel to the bullseye and then just adjust your sight to that point on the paper, this works best with a gun vise, you will be very close to zero. Then do your final zero with minimal shots fired to get it perfect without wasting ammo, we are poor ya know.

Military guys can shoot ok but what if they could shoot better? Check out the link below.

I do believe this concept could be further countryfied with the garden hose and a little water pressure.

That woox furniture though

Chad has some of those magic bullets that defy gravity.

Chad wants Kamala to win….because he dont even vote….and Georgia is very important….this fake seal is Un-American

Good lookin AR, is it heavy?

Chad, don't let youtube bury your video for no eye pro

Peeping that WOOX rail and stock 🙌🏼

that wood gave me wood lol

Bravo Zulu, Chad! You know what I’d really like to see is a video of you doing CQB. You know the days are getting more evil as we go along and it might be nice to see CQB from your perspective.

That rifle and furniture, wow! Beautiful! Feel free to send me one too!
