Assistance with 50m shooting

[sprbloggins]

Hi shooters

Any ideas or suggestions on how I would adjust for a 50m range? I am currently shooting at a 25m indoor range. I am currently using the following:

- DD MK 18, 10.5; and
- Aimpoint T-1

Much appreciated gents.

you are shooting at 25 m and want to know what to do to shoot at 50 m ? do I have that right?

Put target at 50m then shoot at the target.

Sorry for the confusion.

I'm shooting at a range that only has a 25m range. I will be attending a course and the recommendation is to have my weapon zeroed for a 50m range. Is there a way I can do this on the 25m range?

You should be fine. The Point of impact between of 25m to 50m is about 2.5 inch for 5.56 mm in my DD MK18 and if your target is 6 inch circle at 50m then you are on with Aimpoint T1.

Basically, just need to aim a bit lower like 6 o'clock hold at the target at 50m. Hope it help.

Typically having your sights adjusted to impact 1" low at 25m will have you bang on at 50m. This will give you the 50/200m zero.

Use a ballistic calculator. https://www.federalpremium.com/ballistics_calculator/

If you are zeroed at 25m enter that as zero range. Use 25m interval, and the program will show you the hold over/under at 50m.

You can adjust to hit slightly low if you want to be precise, but depending on what kind of shooting you are doing, it will be more than close enough to be on target.

This is in yards not meters but should help get you pretty close: http://jerkingthetrigger.com/2015/02/13/zeroing-target-50200-yard-zero-at-10-yards/

No you don’t need one, the OP asked what the difference in POI would be and it is an easy way to calculate it without shooting. Also FWIW 2 clicks on a T1 at 50m is about 0.25”
