What is the steadiest shooting position?
The prone position is the steadiest of the four positions. Because it’s the easiest to hold, it’s the best position for mastering the fundamentals of firing—aiming, breath control, trigger squeeze, and follow through.
How do rifle scope adjustments work?
Modern scopes adjust for point-of-impact by turning two knobs, one on top of the scope for elevation, the other on the side for windage. The erector tube usually contains several lenses and, as it is adjusted from side-to-side within the scope, affects the firearm’s point of impact.
What is zeroing a gun?
Sighting in or zeroing your rifle means aligning the sights so that your aim is as accurate as possible.
At what range should you zero a 6.5 Creedmoor?
“Expert” advice on the internet ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 inches for a hunting zero, but often don’t specify the weight of projectile, and they come up with different zeros for the same weight bullet.
What length should all handguns be fired at?
arm’s length
Be sure to keep your fingers away from the front of the trigger area. The slide and hammer of a semi-automatic gun can deliver a bruising blow when held too close to the body. All handguns should be fired at arm’s length.
What does the top dial on a scope do?

What does MOA mean on a scope?
minutes of angle
The dot in red dot optics is measured in MOA, which stands for “minutes of angle” – a unit for angular measurement of a circle. It refers to the size of the dot and how much it covers at a certain distance. A smaller red dot covers less of the target than a larger one.
What is sight height?
Height over bore or sight height, is usually a measurement asked for by ballistic calculators to help calculate your “dope” for your specific rifle/set up. A very basic way is to measure from the center of the barrel to center of the scope or scope rings.
What is sighting in a pistol?
“Sighting-in” is a process of adjusting the sights to hit a target at a specific range. Sight-in instructions are printed on some targets available from retail outlets or manufacturers.
