The Everyday Sniper Episode 222, 100 Yard Zeros
Welcome to 2020 and the first new episode of the new year. We are excited to be back and I want to jump right in with precision rifle training.
In this new years' episode I have two areas of focus:
- 100 yard zeroing
- managing your data
I believe every rifle 338 and smaller should have a 100 yard zero. Thinking about this, I also want to look at the type of target we use to zero that may have a bearing. With this in mind, I have been looking at both target design and how we use them. Any way we slice it, we have to work at 100 yards and that work we do there is important. It sets the tone for the rest of our shooting. If we have good groups centered up, we are money, if we are off-center and opened up bigger than a minute, we may run into some trouble down the road.
I want to be efficient when teaching students at 100 yards. It can be boring so it's important to focus on tasks being put forth vs just trying to get the round count up.
I am considering too, the type of target, circles vs the square, vs a diamond, as I think it matters.
Next is managing your data, I made a post on Sniper's Hide about managing your data so be sure to check it out. I think it will help some put down their phones and think about the work to be accomplished.
Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper Podcast

Great episode. I’ve come to really appreciate diamond shapes as targets. The small, precise aiming point at the four corners just works.

I dont really care if its a circle or square as long as it has a smaller 1/4inch point in the center.

I don't feel like I have enough experience to comment on the prefferd 100 HD target but I look forward to taking class with you and Marc in May and seeing what you decide. FYI I drove by Upper Susitna Shooters Association and the temp was -32 F on Saturday

Great start to the new year! I like when you end a podcast with a thought provoking conversation and ask for comments. My short answer is I like a diamond by 1 inch with a colored 1/4 inch dot in center.
