What are some advantages of sighting-in your rifle?

Sighting-in your rifle is an essential step in ensuring accuracy and effectiveness when shooting. One of the significant advantages is that it helps identify problems with your technique. When you accurately sight in your rifle, you can determine where your shots are landing in relation to your point of aim. If your shots consistently land off target, it can indicate issues with your stance, grip, trigger pull, or follow-through. Recognizing these discrepancies allows you to make adjustments to improve your marksmanship.

While other options may have some relevance in different contexts, they do not hold the same direct relationship to the process of sighting in. Setting up a permanent shooting range at home is unrelated to the practice of sighting in. Improved comfort while aiming and increased shooting speed may come as you gain proficiency with your rifle, but these are not guaranteed outcomes of merely sighting in. The primary and most direct benefit of this practice is the ability to refine your shooting technique through the feedback it provides.
