CQ?

[dtkw]

The reason I asked this is I was wonder how far or close I should zero my Eotech 512. I'd start with 50 yards then move up to100 yards. I understand red dot system is for CQ usages. Just wanted to know if 100 yards is too far.

First your talking two different areas and systems

DUDE you are way off base on that

You zero for 50 you will have holdover at under 25 yards to make the shots meet there mark. do to bore axis

come to carbine 1 in oct here in michigan on the 17th

RDS are for any distance.

Under 25 yards? I use a handgun. I have no problem hitting the mark at 25 yards. Most of my defense is with the handgun. I just want to be able to hit the steel plate at 100 yards. I am not going to shoot someone with a knife at 100 yards.

So you can zero the Eotech for 100 yards without problem?

So if you have a rifle in your hand, you'll instead draw a handgun if you have to shoot somebody?



I zero my rifles at 50 yards. You can still make hits at much longer distances.

0-5 yards is the hot spot in my books, and were things get very very violent dirty nasty.

often a lot of strikes and moving getting to the gun
more hands on and fast dirty and ugly

Situational awareness is what it's all about. When I teach self defense classes, I teach that self defense starts the second you walk out the door; active self defense begins when a perp is close enough to do something.

I'd suggest you consider what ranges you are comfortable with, given your skill level, your physical ability, and your predominant environment. What some consider "close quarters" doesn't always apply to everyone.
