    that's reclaimed not grey. grey water is from your sinks and laundry, some think that its ok to just use this as landscape water. I think it will have long term affects.

    same goes for reclaimed water except it get processed . although its far worse then grey. reclaimed water is high in salinity and is known to cause problems with ground water. farmers in cache creek have won a law suite because the casino uses their reclaimed water on the golf coarse. that water has had a negative affect on the water and soil.

    I'm a little confused. Reclaimed water has been treated to the point it's safe to discharge into the bay or ocean and in theory, it's safe enough to drink at that point. Gray water is untreated so it contains anything you put down the sinks or tubs connected to the system. How could gray water be better than reclaimed if that's the case? Maybe the casino has installed a gray water system and is using that to irrigate?

    I'm asking because reclaiming water a pretty big part of water treatment these days.

    My Eotech was off this last time out at the range. Didnt feel like adjusting at 25m, so i just compensated slightly and was still getting a good center grouping. I wish concord would reopen so I could sight in at 50 and 100 :(

    If you've got iron sights or backup sights, just battle field zero the optic to them.

    Otherwise you can take out the BCG and look down the bore of the rifle and try to get the optic as close as possible to what you're seeing down the bore. That should at least get you on paper and then you can adjust from there.

    Invest in a $20 multi caliber laser bore sight, I'll open up the back door to my house, lay prone in the kitchen and get a 40 yard zero right off the bat. When you're not even on paper it's pretty damn hard to get there. With a multi cal it will literally work on any firearm, helps with target acquisition drills with pistols too.

    i actually have one, zeroed it as far as i could in my parents yard from one corner to the other. Still was off a good bit. I think a lot of it was its a red dot and if you're not in the same exact spot it can easily be off left right up or down

    Also depends on the optic, is it some cheap red dot you got or a decent one?

    Also a good sight picture is key as well. I'll place the tip of my nose on my charging handle that way I know I'm working with the exact same sight picture everytime I'm shooting.

    If you're zeroing and you've got some consistent grouping with one or two rounds off it's most likely you're jerking the trigger when firing. If you're just all over when zeroing and no consistency it's most likely sight picture.

    If you've got issues with jerking the trigger. (Make sure your rifle is clear and all that jazz) Take a cleaning rod for your AR, put it down the barrel of your rifle and balance a dime on it. Then practice in the prone or at a table of firing the rifle without making the dime drop. That will make a clean consistent trigger pull become like second nature for you. It's frustrating at first because that dimes going to seem like it will never stay on that cleaning rod but you'll get it.

    Thats how my Eotech is. Its somewhat close to zeroed for me, but other people shoot it and they're way off. I'm goofy eyed though to, shoot left hand, right eye dominant. Yay. Slowly training myself to shoot left eye with rifles

    I don't have all the answers but there are def smarter uses of our water. Gray water is a part of the solution. Not the whole though.

    I mean, I just finished taking a dump right into 2.5 gallons of the nations finest municipal drinking water

    its a vortex strikefire II.

    I think its mostly me with consistency of sight picture. I got it real close just by eye and without a rifle rest so i want to try to get it as close as i can later on.

    We should do a range day. I haven't shot in a while. I'd be willing to teach you guys a thing or too as well.

    Check out the build
    I'll take it if it's still available. I'm working on a little ham project on a budget.
