Headed out this morning to sight in my Mini G (Shuff's Parkerizing Modified Garand).
Goals:
Zero using irons 100 yards
Zero using Primary Arms Advanced Micro Red Dot yards
200 yard line try hitting a 10" steel plate with irons and red dot
Goal 1 - Sight using Irons
Fail. I bottomed out the rear sight aperture after discovering my shots were sailing over my board. Still hitting 8-10" hight. I placed the front sight at the very bottom of the orange 5" dot and it was clearly way too high.
I emailed Shuff and he will fix it by cutting down the aperture. I'll mail him the part in a couple days.
Pic of the high shots - 3 orange hits were probably me aiming much lower on the board. That Aperture was bottomed out for both 8 round clips.
Goal 2 - Zero using Red Dot
Success. Used the Lower 1/3 method as the target acquisition was much faster. This set up does allow for a true co-witness and it was confirmed by another person at the range. Looking through the rear aperture the red dot sits right on the top of the front sight post.
Here's my final zero target:
Knowing @oli700 prefers 5+ rounds to show true marksmanship I got off the bench, sat my skinny ass down and shot 12 rounds in a seated shooting position. Decent group:
Pulled a few. But hey that's the breaks you have to own up to them.
200 yard line:
I had 5 clips left to shoot so I wanted to play. I also recently picked up a POV camera I mounted to my ear pro (Replay XD 1080 Mini). So here's the 200 yard line from my POV shooting the Mini G and ringing in some steel.
Not as many hits as I would have liked but... hey... misses are on me.
