Which statement correctly identifies the major difference between team zeroing and individual zeroing?

• A. All adjustments are made on the front sight for the team zero
• B. Individual zeroing method is used when the rifle is shared
• C. Team zeroing method eliminates the need for any sight adjustments
• D. All adjustments are made on the rear aperture for the team zero

Answer: (D)

When aiming to get a unit's rifles shooting to the same point of aim, the adjustments are made where they will affect the whole group without changing each shooter's sight picture. In team zeroing, all adjustments are made on the rear aperture. This lets the team tune the rifles to a common zero while keeping the front sight picture consistent, so everyone can aim the same way and hit the same point on target. If you adjusted the front sight instead, you’d be changing the sight picture for each rifle individual to fit a shooter, which defeats the purpose of a uniform team zero. Saying that the team zero eliminates any sight adjustments is inaccurate because you still need to set a common zero. And the idea that the rifle is shared points to team zero rather than individual zeroing, which is intended for a shooter with their own rifle. So the hallmark of team zeroing is using the rear aperture for all adjustments to establish a shared zero across rifles.
