Shawn Ryan gives his opinion on what his favorite zero is when using holographic sights. The video starts off covering 5.56 holds (2.5" high) for close range 7 yards and in with holographic red dot sights. Moving on to the traditional zeros and holds the 25yd, 50yd, 100yd and the non traditional 36yd zero. Shawn explains the 36yd zero and why it is his personal favorite.

Ballistic Calculations were calculated off of 5.56 55gr FMJ for the reason that it is the most common type of range ammo.

    Nice! Thanks for the info. To me the 36 yard zero is a no-brainer.
  • @Johnny_Dregs
    He catered to us and took the time to design a 25 yard target for free. That's fucking awesome! Support this guy for sure, he deserves it. I'm irate youtube took this long to recommend.
  • Was in the military 33 years and that is the best explanation I’ve ever heard. Thank you.
  • @steelie4587
    4 yrs later still probably the best explanation of zeroing for my purposes. Thanks!
  • @lexwaldez
    Who else comes back and re-watches this video whenever it shows up again in their algorithm list? I think I've watched this thing four times. Still fun and informative. Maybe I'm just slow.
  • @dylanc760
    Did you seriously make a printable 25 yard target perfect for the indoor range so we can do this? Awesome, man. Thanks a ton.
  • @MrSmith223
    14.5” DDM4A1 w/ eotech xps2 and this works fantastic. Sighted in 36 & immediately moved to 300 and punched steel. Aimed for the middle of a 9x16 plate and heard nothing but dings. This video is truth.
  • Shawn, thank you for taking the time to give us this video AND the target! Invaluable information! Been out of the service since 81, finally got off my ass, paid the price for a mass pre ban (I know, I know) and finally find this on your Youtube channel. GREAT INFORMATION! Just printed out my targets and heading for the range. Currently zero'd at 30 yards and cant wait to re-zero!! Thank you Sir!! Now, if i can just find some damn ammo!
  • "Breaking the line here a little bit Manny." Gotta love that dry ass humor from Shawn. ROFL. 2:48
  • I tested this out yesterday. Tested it with a DDM4V7. 1 &7 twist. With fiocchi 55grn. FMJ. Started at 25 went to 300yards. Came out exactly the way it was shown here. Awesome zero.

    I bet if we taught military concepts dealing with mathematics in grade school, young boys would be more interested in math and science. The word problems would be pretty gruesome though.
  • Really great information! Thank you for taking the time to educate people on the different zeros and how they differ. 36 yards definitely seems like a no brainer when broken down like that. I appreciate you taking the time and considering that the vast majority of indoor ranges only go to 25 yards. Having that target to zero it in will definitely make things easier! Keep up the amazing work man I love your channel and what you do and represent!
  • @FITE4self89
    This is by far the BEST explanation on zeroing. Thank you for calculating and showing the bullet impact at different yardage. I personally have my rifle set to 50 yrd and to visually see where the bullets could land is going to make it so much easier to picture and calculate holds if needed. Thanks for sharing you knowledge and experience with us and hoping for your continued success with the podcast man.
  • @polarbear622
    You made the concept of zeroing a hell of a lot simpler, for a hell of a lot of folks. Nice visual representation of the trajectory spread/POI at distance. Keep up the awesome vids. Thanks brother
  • @cyborgnj
    Former Army Ranger here (1985-1993), still love to shoot at 52 Years young, and living in Arizona affords me the opportunity to do so. This zero is amazing to say the least! Thanks for taking time to make this video and the targets as well. Thanks for your service brother, since 9/11, I always slept good at night knowing guys like you were out there doing what you do.
  • When people give detailed instructions like this Hero does, there should be no excuse to understand fully!!! Thank you 🙏
  • @LinkxUSMC87
    Awesome, this is exactly what i was looking for! Thank you for giving us that target especially without asking anything in return for it, that's a huge contribution to the community although most may not realize the significance of it. Semper fi
  • @peppilameu3144
    Firstly, I want to thank you for taking the time to create a target and put it on your web page for all of us to use. I really do appreciate it.
  • @geyre4564
    Hands down the best zero vid I’ve ever watched. Keep up the good work! I know how much time goes into these, so just know other creatives appreciate the effort!
  • Sean, printed out the target to 8.5 x 11 inch, took it to the range and damn what a great zero. Your holds were right on. Thank you for taking the time Sean!!! (The old 24th inf dude in the northeast). Made my damn day
