Videos tagged with Mechanical Offset

This video explains the concept of Height Over Bore (HOB) or mechanical offset, a common point of confusion for new shooters, especially concerning rifles. The presenter, Jared, demonstrates what HOB is, when it becomes a 'problem' at close ranges, and provides practical methods to compensate for it, enabling accurate hits even on small targets. The video includes visual aids, demonstrations like the Bill Drill on different target sizes, and discussions on zero confirmation and its importance for accurate shooting. It also highlights specific target products for skill building.

This video appears to delve into the intricacies of a "mechanical offset" within the realm of firearms. While the description is sparse, the title suggests a technical discussion about how firearm mechanics or design choices can lead to a deviation or offset in operation or performance. This could relate to sights, aiming systems, or even internal component interaction. The content is likely aimed at enthusiasts with a deeper understanding of firearm engineering or ballistics.

This video explains why shooters might miss close-range targets, focusing on the concept of "Height Over Bore" (HOB). It demonstrates how HOB affects point of aim versus point of impact, especially with red dot sights on an AR-15. The content covers mechanical offset, optic height, and how to zero an AR-15 for accuracy under pressure, offering practical tips for tactical rifle training and shooting under stress. It aims to be a comprehensive guide for AR-15 setup and improving shooting fundamentals.

This video is part 3 of a "How To Shoot" series, focusing on fundamental range drills for beginners. Lucas covers crucial aspects such as selecting the right target, understanding mechanical offset, and mastering recoil control for both rifles and pistols. The content emphasizes the importance of ready-up drills, the distinction between live and dry fire practice, and proper grip and trigger manipulation techniques to improve marksmanship. The video aims to guide new shooters through their initial experiences at the range.

This video explains the concept of "mechanical offset" in relation to AR-15 rifles and similar firearms. Mechanical offset, also known as height over bore, is the distance between the center of the optic's objective lens and the bore of the rifle. The presenter details how this offset significantly impacts accuracy at close ranges, particularly when shooting at small targets. For a typical AR-15 with a red dot sight, the height over bore is often around 2.5 inches. The video demonstrates that at distances of 10 yards or closer, failing to account for mechanical offset can lead to misses. It provides practical advice on how to adjust aiming points, especially when shooting from cover, and recommends range practice to understand and compensate for this effect.

This video by Kit Badger teaches the concept of "Mechanical Offset" to his children using a fun game. Participants shoot one round, observe the impact, and then use that information for subsequent shots, earning dollars based on accuracy. The lesson is presented as an inexpensive and enjoyable way to learn about shooting fundamentals, featuring a Ruger Charger and an S&W M&P 15-22. The video also promotes Kit Badger's merchandise and support channels.

This video explains the concept of mechanical offset, also known as height over bore, and why it causes AR-15 and similar modern semi-auto carbines to shoot low at short distances. It details how this phenomenon affects accuracy and provides guidance on how to compensate for it. The featured rifle is a 5.56x45mm BCM AR-15 with specific modifications and an optic.

This video features Lucas Botkin explaining and demonstrating a training method for 'height over bore', also known as mechanical offset. He utilizes an Eotech EXPS3 optic with a 50/200m zero for the demonstration. The content focuses on a specific shooting technique and its practical application in firearms training.
