Gun Yahoos

From social media, Reid Henrichs of Valor Ridge makes a post and states, "Ensuring students get a solid 100-yd zero here at the Ridge."

Of course, there is some gun yahoo that showed up on the post and asks, "Why are you such an advocate for the 100 yd zero?"

A good reply by one of the other followers is to be had - "take a class and find out."

Of course, the yahoo replies: "thanks. I’ve taken many classes at other schools. None that mandate which zero you must have for the class."

Here are the reasons this guy is a Gun Yahoo.
1. How does he know the shooter doesn't have a scope with a BDC that calls for a 100-yard zero? One cannot see the rifle in question from this angle. And many scopes call for it. 

2. As one who has really taken many classes - often with current and former SEALS, Special Forces, MARSOC, and similar - never once have I met a top tier operator that suggested they could not learn something from taking a class. My money says this yahoo has only taken "free" classes... and got exactly what he paid for.

3. If the shooter is using a red dot sight, then here is why have a 100 yard zero: most RDS are 2-4 MOA. Meaning if zeroed at 50/200 for the center of the dot, then the top center edge would be the zero (or darn close) at 100 yards. This yahoo would know that if he had taken "many classes," as I've heard that discussed a lot!

4. The drop difference on an AR15 between a 50 yard zero and a 100 yard zero is only a 3 inch difference at 300 yards. In Rifleman 1, shooters only shoot to 300 yards.  The difference in the holdover is unimportant. 

Any halfway knowledgeable individual would know most, if not all of these reasons, and would keep his mouth shut. Of course, Yahoos cannot help but try to prove someone wrong.  Gun gammas.
