Use your Red Dot for instant holdover points

[knc1105]

There is a youtube video we tried at the range with a bunch of shooting buddies, it works and it's simple. We have all sighted in like that now. We did not have to buy anything, and it works with any brand of red dot. We wanted to get our "Truck Carbines" and AK and AR pistols to accurately shoot further. I am guessing this will help any CQB set-up. The youtube video was - Use your Red Dot for instant holdover points-Insane Accuracy. Hope it helps you shot faster.

Welcome, did you make that video yourself????


FYI, you can link the videos on this board.

Great video. My little bro was having issues sighting in a red dot for different distances and this is a great idea.

Very interesting. Makes me rethink my sight in on my red dot. I always shot open or peep sights too, don't know why I did not think of that. Makes sense.

Interesting first post.

Yeah that's how I've always sighted in my red dots. Good vid

My attention span doesn't last for 11 min 57 sec. Anybody have a Cliff Notes version?

Shoot you rifle to learn your hold overs

Use top of dot, center of dot, and bottom of dot the same as you would a BDC scope.

So what do you guys think of this video of his????




Cliff notes version: Go from a 2.5 inch groups to under an inch by nothing more than using loctite to secure the muzzle device.

Uh... Sounds like the muzzle device was loose to begin with. I use to have an AK that would always loosen the brake as you shot. One day I forgot to tighten it before shooting. Never found the brake

Pretty damned genius idea. One less reason for me to not eventually buy an AK

Just add more screws? Yeah that'll apply more clamping force, but I'm skeptical. Kind of a clunky option, too.

Hey guys we sighted in my dad’s behind the truck seat AR-15 with a red dot on it like they showed and it works! Man it was quick, I never thought a red dot could be shot that accurately at different distances. I watched the video on the Best AK and SKS mount and did that on my wife’s Tula SKS and it works and she loves it. We already had Tech Sights on it but that 3 MOA Bushnell TRS-25 was the ticket. I sighted in the irons and the red dot like the video said and she was ripping coke cans apart at a 100 yards, can’t wait to go night hog hunting with it.

Strange happenings indeed.

Yes that video was a little long but they explained how to use---- different size red dots for different weapons--- to sight them in all exactly the same. So a Draco Mini, a PAP92, AR-15, AK-47, SKS etc,, could all be sighted in exactly the same and you would not have to remember from gun to gun what the holdover points are. In a stress situation I would not want to have to remember which firearm I had and what the points were, all would shoot the same. Everybody here has more than one weapon. Sorry if some folks don't like it, been visiting here for a while and wanted my first post to be something totally new and not be something that has been discussed a 100 times. And we tried it before I posted it to make sure it worked.

I went back and watched some of their other videos, using that red dot plan they shot probably a 3-1/2" group of 10 or 11 ( I lost count ) on a 8 or 9" plate at 250 yards with an AK-pistol ! That video is only 3:50 and then looks like the same AK-pistol shoots a mag full of clay pigeons at a 100-yards I am trying to think if I know anybody that can do that with a AK rifle?
