I believe he forgot to mention that to go "Down" on the target one must adjust the front site up!

Great Video! I would have liked a little more information on the rear sight and what the meaning of 5/3 is on my .308 handle.
Above my windage knob I have arrows. The one pointed left says up and the right arrow says down. What is the relationship between adjusting front sight post for elevation and the rear sight for elevation?

pointed left

Thanks Steve. Although I am not very savvy with the AR platform, this was very helpful from a technical perspective. I felt some bonding taking place with my rifle. Thanks again.

Mr. Steve:
Great info for zeroing your weapon. Seemed relatively simple from my vantage point.
Which was while watching from my back as you performed your magic. Excellent! Oh, by
the way, I couldn't help but notice your audio. Sounded like you were talking thru two tin
cans. Do you guys even have any handhelds or lav mics (you know, clip-ons)? Very difficult
to try and understand your narrative. Seriously, if you ever want to do anything worth keeping
please, get some microphones, and not the ones on the camera. Well, that's a 50% improvement!
