General Description
7 Zeroing
The TS12 Shotgun is not equipped with optics or iron sights. However,
standard back up sights and optics that can be attached to the Picatinny
rail, may be utilized effectively. The sights will be roughly 3.75 inches over
the height of the bore line. This means that the sight in distance for the
shotgun has to be specific for how the shotgun will be utilized. For general
use, a 50 yard zero (using slugs) is preferred for engaging targets out to
100 yards.
To understand the ballistic profile of the round, the line of sight is in black
and the line of departure is in red.
Figure 7-1 – TS12 Shotgun – Zeroing
When sighting in the TS12 Shotgun, the rounds and spread will impact low
relative to the sights at closer distances. The projectiles and spread will
continue upward through the line of sight and be slightly high at 100 yards.
If the weapon is only intended to be used at shorter distances, the sights can
be adjusted to account for that. Be aware that at a shorter zero distance, the
rounds or spread will impact significantly higher the further down range they
travel past that distance.
Slugs will provide the best results in specifically zeroing the shotgun.
Depending on the ammunition and choke selected, using buckshot or birdshot
may be difficult to truly gauge the center of the spread at a given distance.
If you are utilizing buckshot to zero, it may be necessary to walk down range
after unloading the shotgun after each shot and marking the individual pattern
before adjusting the sights and firing another shot. Adjustment of the optic
sights will be based on the individual manufacturer's manual.
