XS Introduces New Paul Howe Designed AR-15 Sight

XS Sights has new AR-15 rear sight aperture from Paul Howe. The offset between bore axis and the sights on the AR-platform has been the cause of issues in training and application. Looking at the diagram below, you can see how the notch at the top of the small aperture leaf works with the 24/7 front sight up close:

Use the notch for the close range, 7 yard zero. Use the small aperture for 100 yard zero.

Paul Howe, developer of the CSAT sight is the owner of Combat Shooting and Tactics, is a 20-year veteran of the US Army with ten years in Special Operations as an Assault Team Leader, Sniper and Senior Instructor. He said that the sight " . . . is a snap to zero, and train shooters. You start at seven yards and shoot it like a pistol sight to get a baseline zero and then confirm it at 100. It will cut your zero time in half. I believe in simple is best."

Zeroing Procedure

At 7 yards, fire a group at the target with the sights aligned similar to that of a shooting pistol.

Adjust the sights so that the rounds impact where your front sight is holding on the target.

7 Yard Sight Picture

Once zeroed at 7 yards, move back to 100 and fire 3 rounds at your target using the 6 o'clock or center hold sight alignment using the PEEP sight. Adjust your sights accordingly to make sure your rounds hit where you want them to.

Once zeroed, move back to 7 yards and confirm your close in zero using the front sight and rear notch. You should have a point of aim, point of impact zero.

To see how far you can use your notch and still make a hit, move back to 10 yards, 15 yards, etc. and notice the offset that begins to take place. Use the peep hole when you feel you are too far away for the notch to make a surgical shot. This will be up to the individual shooter to make this determination.
