  1. I prefer the lasers that look like bullets and you put one in mag and wrack slide. then laser comes right out or barrel where a bullet would sit.. While they are only like $20 on amazon, I feel like if it was not straight, the lazer would hit side of inside barrel and never make it out to use to sight. Not sure i trust a big stick dangling off the front of barrel lol

  2. Love tools, but i still think if you dont know how to zero, you should zero it without the laser. Takes the fun out of learning how to and helps you keep focus by firing one shot then decide to up or lower, left or right, then shoot again to the previous shot, after a while then yeah for a quick near zero, use the laser.

  3. 1. No bore sighter is going to get you 100% zero, it’ll only get you on paper, target or close enough to your point of impact.

    2. After using your bore sighter at home or at the range, I highly recommend you to be at actual range with live fire to correct and confirm your zero.

    3. Well, 3# should’ve been first but make sure that you know your purpose and your yards before anything. You don’t want to be the guy that has a zero for 100 yards but has a purpose of 10 yards lol.

    4. Understand your height over bore with a red dot.

    5. Me personally, anything from 0-7 to probably 10 yards is mostly a point and shoot for me. At that point, I’m not really looking for a key hole or bullseye shot. I just want be in that accurate zone or at least 1-2in group shot to be accurate.

    6. This is a great product to help you to sight in your red dot to your pistol or rifle easier.

    7. Know your firearm safety before using this product or any other product.

  4. The issue I have is figuring out which piece to use. I bought that very kit but then saw dozens on Amazaon that are cheaper and have the attachments are organized and labeled. Just saying for the price, they should have not just thrown them in the bag. I also reached out to their customer service and they never replied, so folks, do what makes you happy, but a bad customer service experience is a no go for me. I can still trial and error it, but I shouldn't have to.

  5. Yeah this thing was the worst thing I’ve ever purchased. Thing took me OFF target entirely. Thank god for absolute co witness and the lollipop method. I’ll be damned if this thing even touches my rifles

  6. Sorry man I have to ( NOT INTERESTED) your channel. I like some of your content but tired of seeing you take some random comment say it’s a question and then proceed with some shameless sponsorship plug. Ahhh your fired!

  7. As some have already mentioned in the comments already, do not just use a laser bore sight to zero without first confirming that zero at the range. I used a laser bore sight to zero my optic to 15 yards in my backyard (45 ft, measured), made the adjustments, then went to the range and shot with that zero to make sure it was accurate. In my case, my at home zero was spot on, then again I used 2 separate long bore sights and then a cartridge bore sight to make sure, cause even with 3 different lasers, inherently they will all have micro differences in their zero’s. Long story short, you could just do this with one at home, then shoot it at the range to confirm zero, or you can be like me and use several of the same brands bore sight to make sure you get the best average of a possible zero like a maniac 😂 granted it paid off, it made shooting so god damn easy, not to mention, if you have a flashlight & Laser combo light in red or green, get a boresight of the opposite color, and you’ll know your weapon mounted laser is zeroed to your distance when the red/green reticle and red/green laser make a yellow light. I’m talking about absolute zero baby. Last thing, make sure you have suppressor height sights so that if your optic goes down, you can still use irons. Tips I learned along the way.
