Title: Rifle Sight In
Post by: jimonfly on November 18, 2010, 06:23:24 PM
I will be attending the Myakka shoot this coming weekend and need to sight in my rifles on Friday.  Ideally, I would like to sight in using the same size target as we will be shooting this weekend.  Does anyone have a copy of that target for me to print out, or tell me how high to sight in for a 6:00 hold at 25 yards?  Thanks, Jim.

Use a 1" square or disk.  For 6 o'clock hold have the center of impact 1/2" above the front sight.

Don't worry too much about getting it exactly right, you likely will have an impact shift(s) due to position mechanics changes and cadence changes.  Odds are you will still be adjusting your sight during the weekend.

Go here   http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=18234.0   read and print this forum page out.  There is a 1" sighter target attached at the botom of the page.

Thanks for the replies.  I missed the sighter target at the bottom.

I'll be shooting an AR (16") and a 10/22, both with open sights.  I figured I'd have some POI shift but want to at least have a good start.  Plus, its an excuse to go to the range.
