Can anyone explain to me how this works?

Forgotten_Hero said:Well, thats how I was zeroed in BIQ for my PWT3.
To set the sight to 300m, you turn the dial to "3".
The little metal tab is not 300m.
Forgotten_Hero said:Im afraid not. That was with the C79 optical sight attached. It seemed wrong to me so I even asked to make sure I heard them tell me to set it to 300m, and they confirmed it. At the time I wasnt going to ask questions about it though.
Your Small Arms Cadre
I could go on a large rant about how typical this is in the CF and the incredible bunch of incompetant boobs the CF has promoted and the demise of small arms competancy in the Army - but the facts speak for themselves...
101. Zeroing Procedure. The procedure for zeroing the
weapon is as follows:
a. With optical sights set at 200, with the small
aperture set on iron sights, fire a five round
grouping at each target, resting briefly between
groups and ensuring that position and aim picture
are constant.
b. If both groupings are in the same area in relation to
the POA and they are both within the prescribed
standard, then zeroing can be done. If, however,
one grouping is to the left and the other is to the
right, then the shooter is not adopting the same
firing position or POA for each grouping and he
must fire again.
c. The shooter or instructor must determine the MPI
of each grouping and the average MPI on which
the adjustment of the sights will be based.
d. The shooter or instructor must refer to the table on
the next page to determine the adjustment of the
sight in order to superimpose the MPI onto the
CZP.
Forgotten: Think about it, what are the chances that you, a new recruit, may have misheard or misremembered, versus the chances of a RegF Infantry NCO not knowing how to zero a rifle? Sure, the latter is possible, but not likely.
Show the pam to your instructor and correct him/her. I'm sure you will be amply rewarded for your initiative and sense of duty.
