What is the range for a Battle Sight Zero hit on a target?

A Battle Sight Zero (BSZ) is designed to ensure that the point of aim and point of impact are the same within a specified range, maximizing the soldier's effectiveness during combat. The range for a BSZ typically spans from 0 to 300 meters. This range is chosen because it covers the majority of engagements that infantry soldiers are likely to face in various combat scenarios.

At distances up to 300 meters, the trajectory of the bullet and the point of aim will align closely enough that the shooter can engage targets effectively without needing to adjust their aim significantly. This allows soldiers to maintain focus on their target rather than being concerned with holdovers or adjustments for elevation and windage.

The effectiveness of the BSZ within this range means that combat scenarios, such as urban environments or woodland operations where engagements can occur rapidly, can be handled with greater efficiency. Engaging targets beyond 300 meters could introduce some variability in the point of impact due to the bullet’s trajectory, which is why that's generally considered the maximum range for a successful BSZ hit.
