So, a friend of mine and I was at the range, and I let him shoot one of my pistols with a RDS on it and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it.
I zeroed it to hit POA POI at exactly 25yds and that is exactly what it was doing for me.
He kept asking me where should the bullet go? I kept telling him where you put the red dot should be the POI.
Anyway, I was like man I don't know what the fuck you are doing, but for me its hitting exactly where the red dot is.
My question is even though it was zeroed for me with my eyes could it not have been zeroed for him the way his eyes look through the sight?
Now this got me thinking with rifle scopes if I zero my scope for me and if someone else looks through it (other than the diopter needing to be adjusted for the reticle) shouldn't it be zeroed for them as well?
I got a friend that wants me to mount and zero a new scope for him and it got me thinking "when he looks through it will it be zeroed for him as well?"
