In order to achieve a 0 gyro shot, your scope needs to be pointing at a bearing that corresponds to the lead angle that the TDC computes. Once you know the data is entered correctly, simply turn your scope until the gyro angle dials both point to zero.
The easiest way to set things up for a beginner is to turn on a perpendicular course to the target, put the scope at 0°, and set the angle on bow either 90 left or right depending on which way the target is pointing. Of course, set speed, and simply guesstimate the range, because it’s not important for a low or zero gyro angle shot. Now, turn the scope until the gyro is zero. That is the shoot bearing, and simply fire when the desired part of the target crosses the wire.
That is as difficult as manual targeting needs to be for anybody. The only other potential hurdle is of course getting the data, and that is covered in my video if you choose to not use any tools or the recognition manual, or in the RAOBF video there if you do choose to go the route of using the rec manual.
