A range instructor breaks down one of the most useful things a new AR-15 shooter can know: why zeroing your rifle at 25 yards puts you dead-on at 300.

In this Gun Owners Radio Shooting School segment:
- Why the bullet rises before it falls (line-of-sight vs. bore)
- How 25 yards and 300 yards share the same point of impact on a 5.56/.223 AR
- Using a reduced silhouette target when your range only goes to 25 yards
- Why you should master the fundamentals on iron sights before red dots or magnification
- Setting the elevation for a 300-yard zero and confirming it at 25
- The drill: ten shots the size of a dime at 25 yards before you move back
