25 Battlesight Zero

• A proper 25 meter zero is achieved when at least 5 out of the last 6 rounds are in the 4cm circle

• If the soldier has not achieved a zero within 18 rounds, the soldier should be taken off the firing line for remedial training

• In theory, once a good 25 meter zero is achieved, minor sight adjustments will produce a battlesight zero

• However, if possible, a shooter should be allowed to confirm his battlesight zero at the actual distance (250M-M16A1 / 300M-M16A2 and M4)
