Historical Zero - SOBTV

Look, historical zero is essential! Take the time and do it while you shoot over time. The gun won't change, but you do.

Maintaining a historical record of a weapon's zero, or the point at which the bullet hits the target when the sights are properly aligned, can be beneficial for a number of reasons.

One benefit is that it allows the shooter to quickly and accurately re-establish the weapon's zero if it has been changed due to factors such as changes in ammunition, weather, or changes to the weapon itself. This can be especially important in situations where time is a factor, such as in military or law enforcement operations.

Another benefit is that it allows the shooter to more accurately predict the point of impact at different ranges, which can be useful for shooting at longer distances or in situations where the target is moving.

Finally, keeping a historical record of a weapon's zero can also be useful for training purposes, as it allows the shooter to track their progress and identify areas where they may need to focus their efforts.
