This is going to be fun. I scoured the internet and saw about fifteen different threads on fifteen different websites devoted to similar topics. I fear anything I hear here may be more of the same, but let us try nonetheless.
I know that I'm supposed to sight an AK in in meters but I live in the United States and all the ranges I have are measured in yards or feet.
I want to go to the local indoor which gives me 25 yards. Not ideal but it's what I have. When time permits, I plan on taking it out and using the local (if an hour and a half drive is local) outdoor range and testing it at longer ranges. For the time being, how should I zero it? The threads I read were just a bunch of dudes arguing that an AK in 7.62 should be zeroed around 25 yards at the 2 setting, the 3 setting, or the 1 setting. Each person was certain that that was the correct way to do it if one must use yards instead of meters. There was much talk about POA and POI and I just don't know who's correct. I could always just zero it on the P at 25 and say screw it, good enough, but I don't want to do that. I'd like to be closer than close enough. Any suggestions?
