- Iron Sights vs. Optics Open and aperture irons versus magnified scopes and red dots; strengths, limits, and what suits a Piedmont hunting rifle, muzzleloader, or slug gun. Goes deeper than primer: optics-basics.
- MOA & MRAD: Reading Your Adjustments What an angular click actually moves at distance, MOA vs. MRAD, and translating a group's miss into the right number of turret clicks. The core teachable idea.
- Choosing a Zero Distance Picking a zero (e.g. the popular 100-yard or a maximum-point-blank zero) matched to your cartridge and the realistic Piedmont shot ranges, and what it costs you near and far.
- The Sighting-In Process, Step by Step Bore-sighting, a solid rest, shooting and confirming a group before adjusting, dialing to point of impact, and verifying the zero. Goes deeper than primer: sighting-in-zeroing.
