Most people wouldn't take the time to teach average gun owners anything....thank you for looking out for us common folks !!!
reading this in 2024... Thanks for the instructions. I finally got my first rifle (normally had shotguns and handguns) and had no idea what to do with the scope. I asked a few people at the range, and they couldn't be bothered to explain anything... and the instructions that came with the optic were vague or assumed prior training. This just helped me save a TON of time. I appreciate this!
You’re a wonderful professor. Thank you so much for your lectures. You have thought me more in 20 minutes ( I’ve watched multiple times ) after watching hours of video .
Remember the four fundamentals of marksmanship
1.Steady Position
2.Proper Aim (Sight Picture)
3.Breathing
4.Trigger Squeeze
You need a gun
@Tom Foster the cross hair itself should remain the same. On s SFP scope only at the highest magnification are the additional dots and hashes at scale.
With a FFP scope all dots and hashes are at scale at any magnification.
Hope that helps. Good shooting to ya.
Thank you for a well explained easy to follow tutorial with no BS commentary or gun/scope snobbery.
Just got my first rifle and scope and I’m super excited to go to the range and go hunting. This is a great video, you’ve saved me quite a bit of head scratching and embarrassing moments. Thank you!!
You remind me of a good friend of mine. I just started long range shooting. Didn't know a thing. Was terrible. No one was really trying to help me, except this old timer in his 70's. He taught me how to shoot and zero a scope correctly.
Part two is just as educational and easy to follow - thanks for taking the time for the rookies who want to get better.
great information, thanks for doing videos for new shooters, it really helps the sport when it has ambassadors willing to teach.
I was having BIG PROBLEMS with my air rifle scope. This helped me out quite a bit. Thank you for taking the time to teach patiently and in such detail. Your a great teacher for us newbies. Wish i had you living around me more to help me out.
I appreciate this. Just bought my first rifle(ruger precision rimfire) and a scope. I wanted to do the zero myself and i didnt want the store to do it so this was very helpful. I like how halfway through you closed your eyes an just messed it up real bad then had to zero it its very much like getting a scope out of the box for the first time as you never know where your gonna hit.
Just started getting into Long Range shooting with my 6.5 (after having to wait months to get ammo) and I gotta say your videos have helped and explained things best for me. Thanks for the videos
THANK YOU !! I am trying to zero my AK47 with scope and red dot and was having a tough time and this video answered ALL my questions. Thanks again for a great video !!
Just wanted to say as a new sportsman shooter (shooting for fun) this has helped me a whole bunch. Thank you sir.
That looks pretty easy when you get the hang of it
Thank you for helping this old gal get acquainted with these newfangled scope thingies. I hadn't picked up a rifle in almost 4 decades, and I was used to old tech sights. You made learning how to zero my scope pretty easy and painless, and I had it to where I was happy with it in about 30 rounds, which made my day. Thanks again.
I've been shooting since I was about 6 years old (I'm now in my 60s), but never with a scope. I retired from the army (24 years), fired Expert with M16, but never used a scope. In recent years, I've been learning to use a scope, but it has been confusing and I'm just about ready to go back to iron sights. I've had shooting buddies try to get it into my head, but I guess I'm thick headed. BUT, YOU MADE IT SO EASY THAT I GET IT. Thank you.
I just bought my first AR style rifle and I decked it out including a 9-32scope this video really helped me learn how to center my scope on target thanks a lot long live the 2A!
Well done, easy to follow. And a good personality. Subbed.
I really enjoy your simple yet effective teachings for beginners, thank you
Hello. My Rifle scope is 1/4 MOA. Does this mean 4 clicks = 1 inch at 100 yards and 8 clicks = 1 inch at 50 yards? Thanks! Clint
Yes
I’m a beginner and this video is spot on for my skill level. Thank you.
I have never used a scope and haven't shot a rifle since 1997, so this was awesome. I just bought a scope and these two videos were so helpful. Thank you!
I use the "ole Kentucky country boy" method.
1) Bore sight the scope to get it on paper.
2) Set your rifle in a Lead Sled (to remove human error) with the cross hairs on the bulls eye (at your distance of choice). Fire one shot.
3) Where ever your shot hit, adjust your sled (NOT the scope) to where the cross hairs are centered on your bullet hole. Then, adjust your windage/elevation to where the cross hairs are back on the bulls eye.
4) Take your second shot and hit the bulls eye.
Viola! Your scope is zeroed in with 2 shots, using the "ole Kentucky country boy" method. Accurate & cheap, which are my two middle names. Thanks for another instructive video.
I zeroed my Ar-15's scope, thanks to you. Much appreciated, and please keep it up for newbies like myself. I also am on the band wagon now and FJB.
Thanks man! Appreciate the 2 part video set. Exactly what this scope newbie needed for my Savage 64 .22 LR
I've watched both parts now. Great videos. It's always good to refresh the basics.
Anybody I've ever shot never looked down at his chest and said "OMG - is that a 3 MOA group?"
Nice vid, and thanks for posting. Saving folks from cranking through a hundy worth of 556 is doing God's work...
Thank you bud we grew up using open sights but the way you explained the clicks a child could understand aim middle but it hits 4 inches to right and 6 inches low 12 clicks up 8 clicks left shot again 2 inch low 2 inch left 4 clicks up 4 clicks right
This past weekend I sighted in my new hunting rifle I have never done this before because I gave up rifle hunting for the bow at a young age. It would have been nice to have seen this before hand but all went well and it only took 8 rounds to get close. I'll be fine tuning throughout the summer. I bore sighted at home and set up at 50 yards at the range on my Caldwell Matrix but instead of counting the clicks which would have been easier I lined up with the bullseye and adjusted to the hole which worked okay but the right and left adjustments were a bit more difficult.
This has been fantastic! Just bought my first optics, and this will be very helpful, will be doing the zeroing this weekend!
Hi there.
First of all congratulations for this video, (part 1 and part 2)... I most confess I was having some difficulty with my optic (Vector Minotaur 10-50x60). After seeing your videos I went today to the range (GSG 15 model chambered in 22.LR) and started to do like you said step by step. The only difference is that my optic is 1/8 MOA... I have some photos but I can download them by comments on TH-cam, channel.
Thank you and continue with videos to help new/old beginners
great video. I also served in the 82nd!! All American!!
THANK'S FOR YOUR LESSON ON MY SCOPE, AS I WAS WORRIED THAT MY SCOPE; OUT OF THE BOX; WOULD NOT BE ON CENTER FROM THE FACTORY; AS I HAD A DENT ON ONE OF MY TURRET'S! AS MY SCOPE IS FOR MY CROSSBOW. I HAVE TO GET A BARREL LASER TO PLACE ON THE RAIL OF MY CROSSBOW, (where my arrows load.) and a LASER BARREL TO PLACE ON MY SCOPE STAGE, AN TO LEAVEL IT ON A TABLE, THEN GO OUT A 100 YARDS, AN PLACE A PLUM-BOMB ON WHITE CORD, An see if I can line up the dots on the plum line, an set my adjustment's for my scope stage. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, CLIFF CAMPBELL
☺🇺🇸
Thats helped me actually understand a scope on dialing cause I never dialed one before and now i understand how to do it thank you so much for the information
Thank you for this video.
It’s exactly what I needed for this novice to zero the scope on my new Savage .223 rifle.
Great video mate, very helpful 👍
Nice video partner, thanks for the time you spent on showing basic information for Rookies like me on scopes terminology. I really appreciate that. God bless you
I am new to all this and this is the only video that made everything simple and clear. Great job!
The one thing for a beginner that is confusing prior to this video is do the adjustments on the scope move the crosshairs to the point of impact, or move the point of impact to the crosshairs. I know this sounds dumb but it is an issue of interpretation and they are opposites of each other. If you think you're moving the crosshairs TO the point of impact, you'll be moving in the wrong direction.
Thank you. You are a good man. I have learned more about zeroing from these videos more than many others.
Hey! Just bought my first 22 scoped! This is gonna save me hours of reading and looking like a complete idiot at the range, thank you!
Thanks from New Zealand getting back into it after 35 years
Mr. Kotaboy Thank You for both Part 1 and Part 2 of this series! I took careful notes using my #2 pencil, and I will forever appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and time.
Nice job KB on the scope zero series, it's good to visualize the initial impact of the bullet, apply the correct MOA / click count and see the change of the impact of the bullet closer to the bulls eye. I was glad to see you triangulating the bullet point of impact and taking the average distance to the bulls eye to adjust the windage / elevation. Keep up the great education / information series. And......do you own a shotgun??? (Farmagedon is getting closer!!!)
Thank you very much. This is the best video I have seen yet. No other video messed with the dials to show how you would start out if your scope was straight out of the box. Most already have it sighted and then adjust which isn't all they helpful. I'm just starting out and this was a tremendous help
I reckon I am 1 of those knuckle heads, lol. I have been using iron sites on all my guns for 50 + years. I have always done things old school. I now am having trouble seeing what I am shooting at. I have bought me some scopes & now will see if I can shoot any better.
I was to for the longest time but my eye site got worse so I have a nice scope on my 308, and I wouldn't follow this guy. U can center it in 1 to 2 shots. Always make a larger target at 25 to 50yds and go from there. It's really easy to sight in.
@@Hunterslife315 Me too, after 10 years of iron sights, just about to sight my first scope shortly...also the longest casual range available to me is 50m so I concour with zeroing at 25 or 50. Could you take the average of a 3 shot group and simply move your reticle POA to that mark instead?
Excellent video dude!! I’m the rookie who needed to know this information for the new rifle and most importantly ,scope I’m gonna but!! You were quick and to the point with a simple explanation and that’s what I like!! Great job!! It was a super help!!!
This is the exact questions I was having. Should work out great on Monday.
As a complete knucklehead, thank you for these videos!
STAND, IN THE DOOR!!! Thanks for this video!
I'm pretty sure even the best veteran snipers out there still need a refresher course once a while. We all gotta start somewhere cause we ain't no damn robots of perfections. If you haven't been to the range in a while. Good job none the less here. 😁
you probably just saved me a couple hundred dollars worth of ammo. Thanks!
Thanks for this. Just bought my first rifle(ruger 1022) and was planning on sighting in the scope this weekend. I appreciate the sharing of knowledge. This is a great starting point!
Thanks Brother, working up old mossberg 142a .22 rimfire with Tasco Sportsman. I'm scribed now.. Long live the Republic.
I asked earlier and one of your videos did you have a video like this and I happen to find it so if you read that comment disregarded thank you. Your teaching is easy to follow.
Great explanation. Sean (England) God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏
Thank you for this tremendous lesson and demonstration, Mr Mullally.
Not all range days are good days, but a bad day at the range beats a good day at the office 🤘
THANK YOU!!! I really really needed this video.
Good video showing how someone can do this without having all the fancy gadgets or as much as a target with preprinted lines. In a pinch I have fired a shot and used the hole as the aiming point. (much easier with larger caliber) A very realistic situation if one forgets things. (Like the fact that your glasses are actually on your head on top of your cap! maybe too tinted to see though?) Been there, done that. I tend to forget which way to turn the knobs and my eyes are not good enough to see the arrows on scope at indoor range. You'd think after shooting for over 40 years I would remember that! 50/50 chance but seems turn wrong way more often than not.
Great explanation. You demystified this perfectly. Much appreciated.
usually when I sit in a rifle first thing I'll do is all remove the bolt from the bolt action rifle and then bore sighted through the bore of the rifle as I do that I'll study it right at that position then I will adjust the scope until when I get the crosshairs just right on the target once that's all set then I'll put the bolt back in the rifle and then within three rounds usually get it right on the target but usually all start at 50 yards once that's all settle it done then you'll move 2 the 100-yard range and then fire one shot then slightly adjust the elevation and fire two more shots if that prints it right on the target then basically you're all set usually a real good hunting rifle will have the scope mounted rings a little higher so you could see underneath the scope your iron sights because your iron sights are a great backup because Scopes have a tendency to get bumped around or banged around and they lose their adjustment after a while out in the field.
Years later …good stuff thank you
Well done, I saw the AA patch. Back in the mid 70's, I was in the 2/505 of the 82d Airborne division.
AATW!!!
Thanks so much always hesitated about buying a rifle cause was never sure I could use the scope
After watching your video ordered a savage apex hunter In .223
Thanks so much
Thank you for proving the theory that if you don't double the price of the gun for your optics, that a 1/4” MOA is a bunch of BS. Just keep turning till it gets close.
Thanks for using the "KISS" method (keep it simple stupid) for us new scopers.
G’Day Mate
Just purchased my first gun a Ruger 22lr this info will be invaluable to a novice like me
Thanks mate I loved it
Aussie Russ
Thank you for the beginner "Zero your scope" excellent way of explaining how it works.
With the price of these 300 Blackout rounds I’m so glad you made this video. I would’ve been that guy who wasted $150 trying to use my scope right. lol I love shooting but I’m brand new to rifles.
I just learned how to site in a scope from experience with my airsoft gun I’m so proud of myself I’m watching this video after I did it
I never hear any one recommend my favorite technique for zeroing a scope. I got one of the fairly cheap lasers that slip down into the bore of the gun. (at night) I laser a dot on the side of a neighbors house that is a couple of lots away from me. I set the gun on a rest and send a beam out of the garage door, across the back yard about three houses away from me. Then I adjust the scope to match the laser dot. THEN ... go out to the range and start really close (15 yards or so) and fire one shot - adjusting the scope from there as you outline in this video. The laser just puts you really really close on target at 100 yards and you have a lot less shooting and adjusting to do at the range. Ron
THANKS !!! Excellent 2 videos!! Been having an awful time with new AR556 and PA 1X6 ACSS scope.
God Bless (us all)
I can hit a pie pan at 40 yards ( that one got my buddy's at work laughin!) Thank you buddy for the Info!
I’ll admit I’m no sniper, but you very seriously made a very informative video, that taught me some things, I didn’t take in to perspective, because I was just shooting the hell out of things, lol! Very awesome video, I am a very accurate shooter now, thanks for making this video, so easy to learn from! I’ll be watching more of you’re videos, I just subscribed!
I love Black Hills 77's.. PSA had them for $28 bucks a box a while back.. they shoot so great..
extremely informative and helpful I just got an x-bolt .308 with a Bushnell 3x9x40. Need to site it in. thanks much.
Not all range days are good days but all days at the range are great.
My uncle Bill called me Numbnuts.
In my humble opinion,even a bad range day is better than no range day..... but i shoot almost every day ...im lucky enough to have a private range ...#BLESSED AND ARMED ...
Super easy to follow your instructions. Thank you.
Thank you very much, I just got my very first scope and ar. Your videos are very helpful.
good videos thank you for the laymans quick fast and in a hurry tutorial...now i have a good idea of what to do when i get a rifle scope
This was actually a pretty great video and I learned a lot about shooting so thank you!
I do this like you do. I saw somewhere on youtube how to zero the scope in two shots. But it takes a Caldwell Lead Sled or something like it. He takes the first shot, then moves the cross hairs to where the round hit and takes the second shot to make sure it hits in same spot. Enjoy the videos.
i saw a similar video. I wonder why the other guy moved the cross hairs to where the round hit and kotaboy moved the cross hairs to where it should have it?
reinvestorintally , sorry for late response only just found post! The 3 shot zero is very quick , accurate and ammo friendly, if done properly. The biggest thing is once you have fired the first shot it is vital to keep the firearm as steady as possible while you move the crosshairs to cover this first hole. Once done come back on aim and the second shot should be right on the money at POA, a third shot is used to confirm zero. I have tried both methods and must confess find the 3 shot quicker and less confusing, no need to wonder or forget how many clicks to turn, even the man himself got confused on this one! Lol!! Regard from across the pond Clive
Yep, I’m a new guy. You are easy to listen to and understand. Thank you
Thanks a lot. You showed clearly what we need to do to zero a scope!
Ummm excuse me Professor, but you said the words "bad range day" I do not believe there is a such thing! Good, Great, and Hot Dang sounds correct.
You tube would rather push other videos than put part 2 right after part 1. Stupid. I found it on your channel though.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to not only explain the process, but SHOW how it is done!!!
Now i won't have to look like an idiot zeroing in the new Sig scope i ordered for my 15yr olds 22. Whew!
You rock!
Oh & from your gear, I want to THANK YOU for your service.
Now back to your channel to view some more videos.
Thank u wow usually i get frustrated at the range and just switch to the iron sights lol
GREAT explanation for a subject that can be confusing ...thank you
this is actually an informative video for an entry level shooter. thanks!
1 MOA is 1 inch or 2,54 cm so if one click is 1/4 that gives me: 0,63 cm or 63 milimeters.
Well i will make my self a target like in your first video to zero in new scope on new rifle.
Well as a beginer in precize shoting your advice will hellp me really much. Thx man. 👍
First rifle for precizion shoting is Howa 1500 heawy barel 308 win.... I ordered Nikkon Sterling 6-24X50 scope so i can tray to compet up to 300m.
Thank you so much. This made it very simple to understand. I'm one of the boxes and boxes people!
Watched both videos, well done ! thanks for taking the time to teach us.
additional info: speak about adjustments in turns CW Clockwise, or CCW. twould be helpful.
Thank you, that was very informative. I appreciate your work.
Fabulous lesson many thanks from the U.K., God bless you all
Thanks, u cleared up the clicks..maybe do mil scope next.
Thank you you where so much help it is my 2nd year deer hunting and I had to sight it in and you made it easy to sight in my gun
Thank you so much for the informative and very clear explanation on how to zero a scope. Going to zero a couple tomorrow, hope it works!
Shoot a group and just walk the reticle over to the POI, through the glass. That zero, is more precise than the average shooter.
