Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 238
We were instructing a number of agency trainers in some basic marksmanship with tactical rifles. Twice each day (first thing in the morning and first thing after lunch) we shot a zeroing confirmation group. We have found that most tactical scopes won't hold a zero, and the scopes on this course were no exception, with about half needing some kind of an adjustment each time, and some needing an alarming amount of adjustment to bring them back on zero. It was interesting to see the reaction of these trainers when they realized this, and they began to talk about the number of failures they got during the qualification course of fire. They were wondering if they could change this if they just did a zeroing exercise prior to the test.
