Bore sighting

Bore sighting helps to sight in or zero in your firearm.
When your firearm is sighted in or zeroed in, it shoots accurately.
Definitions:
Sight alignment is the alignment of the front and back open sights on a firearm.
Sight picture is the aligned sights on the target.
• With open sights, the aligned front and back sights are put under the target center making a “lollipop”.
• With a scope, the crosshairs are put in the target center.
• With a red dot, the dot is put in the target center.
How is bore sighting done?
• Bore sighting is done with a metal “module” that is caliber specific and fits into the chamber of the firearm. The module emits a laser beam and this beam is where the barrel or bore is pointing.
• Bore sighting needs to be done within 25 yards and the laser beam is very visible in a large indoor room. Outdoors the laser beam is harder to see especially in the sunlight.
• Use a sandbag to keep the firearm steady.
• As you aim, the sight picture and laser beam should be very close on the target. If they’re not, adjust the sights or scope to meet the laser beam. You may get within 1 to 2 inches of dead center.
Bore sighting saves you ammo, targets and lots of time.
