Video is too generalized. If you're using an optic (reflex or holographic in particular), the optics height over bore (HOB) is a very significant factor in establishing you're battle zero. A ballistic calculator many of which can downloaded as an app for free or for a minimal fee that would allow you to input variables such as HOB and cartridge ballistics can be an invaluable tool in helping to establish your desired battle zero.
hmm just zeroed at 50 and shooting at 100 had the same group with a 5 inch rise OK; that is the adjustment and at 200 back to zero no adjustment needed. All ammo has an arc just pick your zero and adjust. Heck some of the Eotechs have 2 or 4 dots with each being 50/200 300 400 500 zeros and the bottom is 7yard danger close.
Any moron can abuse any knife until it breaks. It's always good to see somebody work a tool as intended as a means to display that tool's capabilities. I've had my El Chete for several years, love it and will buy another one when mine gives it up.
I just use the 25 yard because of the army. Would be foolish to train on my civilian rifle with a different zero or change up my service rifle when I’ve already familiarized myself and sent thousands of rounds down range with the 25 yard zero
The VTA sheet you are using is incorrect. It differs wildly from what I use to teach this for the Army. Here’s an example: look at the light grey 25m zero dot. If I zero my weapon at 25m, that grey dot would be centered only at 25 and 300. Here, it’s shown as hitting center at 50, 100, & 200 when we all know the 25m zero dot should be much higher on the target, especially at 200 since 190m is the apex of the ballistic trajectory. Not trying to bash you, but somebody created an incorrect sheet that you happened to use. In reality, 25/300 gives the tallest shot string, 50/200 the shortest. Refer to FM 3-22.9
My girl and I shoot with a 25 meter zero. Its what we were first trained with when we got our ARs. We both shoot 3-4 times a month in competitions (Practical Rifle, 2-Gun and a tactical class we both signed up for). We know that inside of 20 yards, we aim a couple inches high, 30-50 we aim pretty much dead-on, and 50 to 200 we aim a few inches low. Seems like a lot to remember, but we do it so often that its second-nature now. The key is PRACTICE! When we go to the range, we check our zeros (shoot tiny -1" groups at 25 meters) then we move on to the 200 that has a berm at 100. There we shoot paper at both 100 and 200 to know our POI compared to our POA. Without sounding like a bragger, we are both in the top 10% of the groups we shoot with. In fact, last week we were helping set up a stage on our 200 yard bay and she shot an 8" plate from the sitting position, first shot. But again, our key is practicing.
If you like the Schrade SCHF45 & SCHF28 you're gonna Love the MTech Nighthawk 8069 (it has a thicker blade and a Leather Sheath from Hell...) I bought it at the same time I bought the SCHF10 and I swore they were both made by the same company in China (one for Schrade and one for MTech.)
There are those who say you should not split wood with a knife. And then there are those who whack a one foot diameter log with one single chop and send two opposing halves of wood flying 10 ft out away from each other in opposite directions. After years of looking at this knife I finally bought one a few weeks ago because it was on sale. Funny but I don't see anyone complaining about splitting wood with a knife when you got this in your hand.
Lol, right. One look at this knife and you know it can do whatever it wants. No limitations. I’ll admit, my arm was a bit tired after using this thing. It’s a beast. Ever check out Work Tuff Gear blades? They have some monster choppers in their lineup.
EJ is definitely a legend but legends need to realize when they are too old and cant support their team members anymore he couodnt even catch a snake after he shot it full of frog venom, or catch an eel 3ft away after he stabbed it or catchna fish after he brought it on land he didnt provide his team with a single bit of food at all.
EJ was suposed to be there to help his team and all he did was eat food they should be eating without bringing any food or anything at all to the team. His team would of been better off if he would of stayed home or just tapped out on day 1.
@RogerF The knife rabbit hole runs deep. Once I came across vids of Work Tuff and their overall value and durability? If their knives pass the JoeX tests, I'm convinced that Zombies may actually have enough common sense left to run the opposite direction.
Dear god, thank you! Lol. I was told 36 yrds. I purchased my first lpvo and zeroed in at 36 yards. Lol, it was great up to 50 yards, than at a 100 yards i was was high. I then zeroed in at 100 yards and, using the moa, was hitting perfect 50 yards 200 yards 300 yards. But at first, I blew threw through over a hundred rounds of 556, just trying to hit this huge paper target a 100 yards away. I was beyond pissed. 😂
36 yards is much more popular now then when I made this video. It’s a good zero for home defense ( where you really don’t need to shoot past 50 yards. Still to this day I zero all my rifles at 100 yards. Never had any issues. Thanks for watching!
Same, then using M118lr ball I rezeroed at 100yds. Mil/Moa scope with turrets cut for the round, scope offset, and barrel length I am right on 300/400/500/600yds. The right combo of ammo, optic, rifle helps you not have to go true up a dope table then adjust for set bullet drop against whats etched into your reticle. Its kinda done for you and it all matches up with what you see for the most part. Problem, most people dont know what distance the combo they shoot is relatively unaffected by wind, temps, inclination/declination. They have no idea what the comfortable sweetspot is and where they have to put in work as their percentage hit rate drops off.
In 1968 I don't recall firing at paper on the range at under 200 meters. Started with a week of dry fire. Put the firing pins in. In my case switched to a fiberglass stock for duration of qualifying for a longer length of pull. Fired from a bench at 120 inches (can't remember the number) in order to be on the paper at two hundred meters. Fired for a week at 200,300 and 500 meters. Full disclosure I qualified Marksman with the M-14 after blowing my kneeling sitting rapid fire and my last 500 shot prone...the wind stopped. Coach apologized for the wind and said it was his fault. I was not happy but a year later I qualified Expert in Okinawa with the M-16 I carried in Vietnam. I 'm still not happy about the blown string, it was a smallish group just high. All I can think of is I reverted to a POA POI hold in my hurry. We were sighted for 6-oclock sight picture. There were no do overs except for equipment failures in case you'all were wondering. At advanced infantry training we converted to Point of aim point of impact BTW. Not arguing, just an old war story.
I'm an older American in my 60s and my sight isn't as good as it once was. I zeroed my AR at 50 yards and can put a group in a 3" circle. I think that's sufficient. That's with open sights (iron sights). I don't expect to be shooting at targets over that range.
@@RogerFman, that mf looks TOUGH. I regret not ordering it when it first came out for that period, But I got a good deal on it.. Will do.I'll let you know what's up with it 🫡
Got the knife. Very impressive 👏 I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that thing. I just threw that thing at the trees in the park right now 😀
EJ is the master at these challenges it’s so awesome to see someone of his age conjuring all these challenges through the yrs. But I do have to say the 2 women Trish and Stacy I really doubt they would have made the full 40 day challenge if Amber wasn’t with them for the first 30 days. The would have starved to death. Amber worked her ass off to help them. Yes Amber was bossy but absolutely nothing would have gotten done without her help
Very tough question. Both great blades but I would choose the Storm Vector. I think it would be better as an all-around blade/tool/weapon. The El Chete can probably chop and baton better, but that’s it. Thanks for asking!
You have to remember that you can zero in your rifle better at shorter distances than at long distances. With iron sights or red dots at 100 yards it becomes difficult and therefore inaccurate. Of course, this is much easier with a rifle scope.
You don't need to zero it at actual distances. There are targets with an aim point and a different impact point. For example I zero mine on a 25 yard range and it shows where the bullet should hit for a 50 yard zero.
